San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich is currently out indefinitely as he recovers from an illness. The team announced that Popovich did not travel with the Spurs on their current road trip, which includes games against the Los Angeles Clippers and the Houston Rockets. The Spurs are set to host the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday.
During Popovich's absence, Mitch Johnson will be stepping in as the interim coach. Johnson was informed just hours before a recent game against the Minnesota Timberwolves that Popovich, who is 75 years old, would be unavailable due to an undisclosed illness.
