Gregg Popovich, head coach of the San Antonio Spurs, is recovering at home after a recent medical episode where he fainted at a restaurant. This follows his earlier health issues, including a mild stroke during the season, which led to assistant coach Mitch Johnson taking over coaching duties. Although Popovich has expressed hope to return, there is no official confirmation regarding his availability for the next season. As a legendary figure in basketball, Popovich's future with the Spurs remains a subject of keen interest.
Popovich had a stroke at the team's arena in San Antonio on Nov. 2. Assistant coach Mitch Johnson took over as acting head coach that night and wound up coaching the team's final 77 games of the season.
Popovich, at that time, said he hopes he can return to coaching in the future. The Spurs have not given any indication if Popovich plans to be back in time for the start of next season.
