A reassuring and warm message. This Monday evening, a few hours after the Spurs’ defeat against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the San Antonio NBA franchise published on social networks a short note signed by the hand of its coach, Gregg Popovich, who has been on leave since six weeks and a slight stroke suffered in early November.
“These six weeks have certainly been unexpected for my family and I,” wrote the 75-year-old coach, Spurs coach since 1996. “As we work together on my recovery, I want to take a moment to share with you the immense support we have received during this time, which has been truly overwhelming, in the best sense of the word. I wish I could respond to each and every one of you, but for now, let me say that my family and I are forever grateful. »
“No one is more excited to see me back on the bench than the talented people who have led my rehabilitation process,” he continued. They quickly learned that I was not the type to get carried away. » In his absence, the head coach of Spurs is relieved by one of his assistants, Mitch Johnson (38 years old). The franchise must play two matches in Paris on January 23 and 25, 2025.
