The San Antonio Spurs announced Wednesday that head coach Gregg Popovich experienced a mild stroke on Nov. 2 at the Frost Bank Center. SAN ANTONIO - The San Antonio Spurs have officially reported that Head Coach Gregg Popovich experienced a mild stroke on November 2 at the Frost Bank Center.
Popovich has already begun a rehabilitation program and is expected to make a full recovery. However, a specific timeline for his return to coaching duties has not been set at this time.The Spurs organization expresses gratitude to the community for respecting the privacy of Popovich and his family during this time.
Doctors say a “mild stroke’s,” imaging tests can reveal an obstruction in blood flow and potential damage to brain tissue whereas symptoms for a “mini-stroke” last for a short time, usually less than an hour, and often resolve within minutes. Both conditions are serious and require prompt medical attention to reduce the risk of future strokes.
The sudden illness and indefinite absence of coach Gregg Popovich has suddenly cast Mitch Johnson into the spotlight as acting NBA head coach of the San Antonio Spurs. While the organization could have handed over the keys to Brett Brown- arguably the most experienced and tenured coach on the Spurs bench, team management chose the younger candidate instead and by all accounts, Johnson has already won many of the hearts and minds of his players.
