Gregg Popovich, the longest-tenured coach in the big four pro sports in the United States, hinted Monday he is in negotiations to return to the San Antonio Spurs for a 24th season.
Popovich’s contract expired Saturday after the Spurs’ 90-86 Game 7 loss to the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. But in speaking with reporters Monday, the 70-year-old sounded like a coach very much looking ahead to next season. The Spurs have won five NBA titles during his tenure.
The Thunder have compiled a 199-129 record in the regular season under Donovan, but they are just 4-12 in the past three postseasons. A 4-1 series loss to the Portland Trail Blazers this year marked Oklahoma City’s third straight first-round exit since Kevin Durant left for the Golden State Warriors in free agency in 2016.
Paul’s outburst came after James Harden appeared to be fouled by Draymond Green while attempting a 3-pointer. After a scramble for the ball ended up in a ruling of possession for the Warriors, Paul argued and made contact with an official. The All-Star did not participate in the morning shootaround but was still in the lineup against the Raptors.
Kanter, 26, separated his left shoulder in Game 5 of the first-round series against Oklahoma City last Tuesday.
