San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich has been away from the team since November after he suffered a stroke. ESPN's Shams Charania reported earlier this week that the 76-year-old was not expected to return to the team this season while he continues his recovery, and now Popovich himself has reportedly addressed the situation with the team.
According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, Popovich spoke with the team Thursday for the first time since suffering the stroke, and confirmed to players that he would not be returning in the 2024-25 season.
