On 2 November, Popovich was called a “light stroke” by the team before a matchup against Minnesota Timberwells. The Hall of Famer, who has coached the spurs since the 1996-97 season, is the most winning coach of the NBA, with a 1,412 regular season win and with five championships, there is another 170 in Postsen to go with five championships.
He agreed to expand five years of contract with the team in 2023.
Assistant coach Mich Johnson took over on an interim basis to carry San Antonio to a record of 31-45 under his watch.
The franchise cornerstone Victor Vambanyama was detected immediately after the NBA all-star break, detected deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder, or a blood clot and exiting for the rest of the regular season. The newly added guard de’mon Fox, who joined the spurs through a trade in February, missed the last 18 games due to a left pinky injury, requiring surgery.
Prior to Popovich’s latest health event, the spurs had already faced an uncertain future whether the coach would return to 2025 and ’26 seasons. Johnson said the spurs have already put up an offsen plan together, which would be executed collectively, later from this spring, by employees in the absence of Popovich.
“I think I had no time to deal with it yet,” Johnson said after the end of the season on 13 April. “I think this is a fair question and I think I will, hope everyone has gone through this, take some time, grab your breath and spend some time with family.
“This organization is still giving priority to the health of the pop. Over time, it will do what will be done and need to take decisions. It will go through this outfit on a lot of levels. We have actually kept that plan together as a group. Obviously, my role has turned in nine years. What I am doing in this spring, what was done eight years ago, but the player has been developed since then.”
The organization has constantly maintained internal that it will allow Popovich to decide whether it wants to return for the 30th season at San Antonio. The sources who are in contact with Popovich since their stroke, have said that the coach has intended to return to the bench in the next season to lead the spurs.
“I trust the organization,” Vambanyama said after the end of the season. “I am confident that he can come back to pop (do) and take back his energy. And I also trust Mitch to grow in that role. I think we are supporting each other throughout the organization. I am ready for anything.
Popovich held an emotional meeting with the spurs players on 27 February, and he issued a statement at the time that he would not officially return this season, but is expected to return to the future.
His statement said, “I will continue to focus on my health with hope that I can return to coaching in future.”
Popovich joined Don Nelson and Pat relay as one of the three coaches to win the NBA Coach of the Year on three occasions. He is one of the five coaches winning at least five NBA championships with Phil Jackson (11), Red Orback (Nine), John Kundla (five) and relay (five).
