Gregg Popovich, the legendary coach of the San Antonio Spurs, is recovering from a mild stroke he suffered on November 2. The Spurs have expressed optimism about his recovery, although no timeline for his return has been established.

Popovich, 75, has been a pivotal figure for the Spurs for nearly three decades, leading them to five NBA championships. In his absence, assistant coach Mitch Johnson has taken over, guiding the team to a recent victory against the Washington Wizards.
