Five-time NBA champion head coach Gregg Popovic has signed a new contract with the San Antonio Spurs as the organisation builds around number-one overall pick Victor Wembanyama.
The 74-year-old has penned a five-year deal with the Spurs, who are optimistic about their future after landing the first pick in the draft lottery and selecting French sensation Wembanyama, perhaps the most-hyped prospect since LeBron James entered the league 20 years ago.
"The San Antonio Spurs today announced that president of basketball operations and head coach Gregg Popovich has signed a five-year contract. Per club policy, terms of the contract were not released." a spokesman said.
