Popovich, 76, coached just five games for the Spurs during the 2024-25 NBA season before suffering a mild stroke. He missed the rest of the season due to the medical episode. Mitch Johnson served as the team’s interim head coach during Popovich’s absence. The Spurs finished 34-48 and failed to make the playoffs, but lost sensation Victor Wembanyama in late February due to deep vein thrombosis.

Reports suggested Popovich made progress throughout the season and was healthy enough to address the team in person after the All-Star break. As the regular season came to a close, the Spurs were reportedly going to let Popovich decide if he wanted to return to coach the team next season.

Popovich has been the team’s head coach since the 1996-97 NBA season. He’s led the team to five NBA championships and is considered one of the greatest basketball coaches of all time.
