Mitch Johnson, serving as interim coach, stated, "I think everybody's just always got to be ready for the next man up. We've had it with injuries and sometimes people get sick or don't feel well or things come up in life." This reflects the Spurs' adaptability in challenging situations.
Johnson added, "He's just not feeling well. It marked the third time Johnson has served as head coach in Popovich's absence." This highlights the recurring nature of Popovich's health challenges and the team's readiness.
Popovich, in his 29th season, is the NBA's career leader with 1,390 victories and 170 postseason wins, underscoring his immense contribution to the league and the Spurs' success.
