San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama said he and his teammates expect Gregg Popovich back soon after a health issue sidelined the longtime coach for three games, including Thursday night’s 118-105 win over the Portland Trail Blazers.
“We don’t hear a lot from Pop,” Wembanyama said after the game. “They keep us informed as much as we’re allowed to know. So, I’m not worried about him. I know he’s going to come back soon.”
Popovich experienced an undisclosed medical episode last Saturday, approximately 2½ hours before the Spurs’ home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Acting head coach Mitch Johnson stated that Popovich was “not feeling well” but offered no additional details.
Asked if there was any clarity on Popovich’s return, Johnson couldn’t confirm but stated that Popovich is “doing good.”
