Gregg Popovich addressed the San Antonio Spurs’ players for the first time on Thursday since he suffered a stroke in November. Popvoich gave them an update on his recovery and that he will be unable to return to the sidelines this season.
Mitch Johnson has served as acting head coach in place of Popovich.
The Spurs have been in the play-in mix this season, but will also be without Victor Wembanyama for the remainder of the season due to a blood clot in his shoulder.
