Charania (ESPN) on Popovich: "There is a great level of concern around the situation"
In the past few hours, it has emerged that Gregg Popovich is being forced to step away from NBA courts indefinitely due to health reasons. Recent updates from ESPN do not give much hope for a quick recovery. NBA insider Shams Charania, speaking on NBA Today, stated that there is a 'great level of concern around the situation' regarding Popovich's situation and condition. Assistant coach Mitch Johnson will continue to serve as interim head coach. At present, there is maximum confidentiality regarding his health, with even the Spurs players not having any updates. 'I haven't spoken with him, and I don't think any of the guys on the team have,' said Chris Paul, a veteran on the San Antonio roster. 'Obviously, we wanted to. We are trying to give him space and focus on controlling what we can control.' Popovich, 75, is the NBA’s all-time leader in coaching wins with 1,390 victories, along with another 170 postseason wins and five NBA championships. He is in his 29th season, all with San Antonio.
