Latest on Spurs coach’s health, recovery

San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich “is not expected to return this season, and his NBA future is uncertain,” ESPN reported Saturday.

In November, Popovich had a mild stroke that’s kept him away from his day-to-day duties as coach and out of the public spotlight. He is the NBA’s all-time winningest coach.

He made his first public comments in a statement released on Dec. 16, stating his desire to return to coaching.

“No one is more excited to see me return to the bench than the talented individuals who have been leading my rehabilitation process,” Popovich said. “They’ve quickly learned that I’m less than coachable.”

Here’s the latest regarding Popovich’s future.
