Just because the San Antonio Spurs will be without both Gregg Popovich and Victor Wembanyama for the rest of the season doesn't mean the duo have taken a step back.
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich talks with forward Victor Wembanyama during a time out in the first half of their NBA game with the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Frost Bank Center on Saturday, Jan. 27, 2024.
Two days after the San Antonio Spurs announced that Victor Wembanyama was out for the rest of the season, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that Gregg Popovich won’t return this season either. The winningest coach in NBA history hasn’t been with the team since suffering a mild stroke at the beginning of November.
