Legendary San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich is “attacking his rehab with the same resilience” after suffering a stroke in November that he’d shown on the bench, Buford said, but his return to the team this season remains in question.

Gregg Popovich is not expected to return to coach the San Antonio Spurs this season after suffering a stroke in November and his future in the NBA is “uncertain,” according to ESPN’s Shams Charania who cited league sources.

It's beginning to feel like Gregg Popovich might retire from coaching for good, which would leave the San Antonio Spurs with massive shoes to fill on the sideline. Pop has already decided to sit out the rest of the 2024-25 season after suffering a stroke earlier in the campaign.
