The Spurs said on Monday that Popovich did not travel with the team for games in Los Angeles and Houston, making Mitch Johnson the interim head coach.
Mitch did a great job, man. I think our whole coaching staff did. Things happen within this league all the time and just like with the players, it's next man.
Popovich is the NBA's career leader with 1,390 victories and another 170 postseason wins while winning five NBA titles, in his 29th season with San Antonio.
Popovich, 75, experienced a health situation before the Spurs' win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, with the team stating he had an undisclosed illness.
