Victor Wembanyama calms concerns about Gregg Popovich: "We are not worried, we know he will be back soon"

The star of the San Antonio Spurs, Victor Wembanyama, expressed his confidence in the soon return of coach Gregg Popovich after a health issue forced the veteran coach to miss three games, including the recent victory of the Texans over the Portland Trail Blazers in the early hours of the morning.

"We haven't heard much from Pop. They keep us informed as much as they let us know. So, I'm not worried about him. I know he will be back soon," Wembanyama declared after the game.

Meanwhile, interim coach Mitch Johnson mentioned that he has been in touch with Popovich, although he couldn't provide details about the situation. "We have been talking. I've been busy with this, trying to stay afloat. So, I haven't discussed details and I'm not sure about anything," Johnson stated.

Johnson also assured that Popovich, 75 years old, "is fine." Although an exact date for his return has not been determined yet, the team's expectation is that the legendary coach will soon be able to resume his place on the bench and continue his historic career in his 29th season with the Spurs.
