San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich released his first statement since suffering a mild stroke at the Frost Bank Center, the Spurs' arena, on Nov. 2. Popovich, the oldest coach in NBA history at 75, expressed his gratitude for the outpour of support he has received since the stroke occurred.
“This has certainly been an unexpected six weeks for my family and me," Popovich said. "As we work together on my recovery, I want to take a moment to share that the outpouring of support we’ve received during this time has been truly overwhelming in the best possible way. While I wish I could get back to each one of you, for now, let me say that my family and I are forever grateful. We’re thankful for our wonderful community, the entire Spurs organization, and our family and friends."
