Gregg Popovich will not return with the Spurs this season
The coach is still recovering from his stroke, and it is also unknown if he will be able to return once the course ends.
At San Antonio Spurs, neither Victor Wembanyama nor Gregg Popovich will be able to enjoy the rest of the NBA season. The former due to a shoulder thrombosis, and the latter because he is still recovering from the stroke he suffered in November.
It has recently been confirmed that Popovich will not return to the Spurs' bench until the end of the season, and even after that, his future remains uncertain. This was reported by Shams Charania of ESPN.
Mitch Johnson has been acting as the head coach in place of Popovich since November. The Spurs are 24-30 this season, and with Wembanyama's injury and their head coach absent, they are no longer expected to compete for the play-in.
Popovich has been the head coach of San Antonio since taking over the position in 1996. He turned 76 in January.
