Latest News about Gregg Popovich
Popovich made a rare public appearance courtside at an Austin Spurs G-League matchup nearly a year after his hospitalization. The appearance was notable because it was his first significant public return following the health issues that kept him away from the sidelines.
The San Antonio Spurs announced that Gregg Popovich would step down as head coach after 29 seasons and move into a full-time role as president of basketball operations. Mitch Johnson, who had been serving as acting head coach during Popovich’s recovery, was named the permanent replacement.
Popovich was hospitalized after collapsing at a restaurant in Cedar, Texas, several months after suffering a mild stroke in November 2024. The incident was treated as a serious health scare, and he was later reported to be stable and recovering.
