San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich, a Basketball Hall of Famer, is currently recovering from a mild stroke that he suffered earlier this month. The 75-year-old, who is in his 29th season as coach of the Spurs, experienced the stroke on November 2 at the team's arena. The team has announced that there is no set timetable for his return to the sideline, but Popovich is expected to make a full recovery.

Popovich, the NBA's all-time win leader, has led the Spurs to five championships and guided USA Basketball to a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. He has already begun a rehabilitation program to aid in his recovery process.
