Popovich, 75, suffered a health scare last month that sent shockwaves through the NBA community.

Against the odds, Popovich has made what team doctors are calling an “exceptional recovery.” His resilience, combined with top-tier medical care and rehabilitation, has allowed him to return much sooner than expected. The organization released a statement expressing their gratitude for the overwhelming support from fans, players, and the entire NBA community.

“We are beyond thrilled to welcome Coach Popovich back,” Spurs General Manager Brian Wright said. “His strength and determination have been nothing short of inspiring. The entire organization, from players to staff, is excited to see him back where he belongs—leading the Spurs.”

During his absence, assistant coach Brett Brown took over head coaching duties, keeping the team competitive in a challenging Western Conference.
