Gregg Popovich will return as coach this season after he suffered an undisclosed medical episode last Saturday.

Spurs star Victor Wembanyama said he is "not worried" about Gregg Popovich, adding that he and his teammates expect the longtime coach to "come back soon."

I'm told that it was a health issue and it was a serious health issue that the Spurs dealt with and Gregg Popovich dealt with over the weekend,' Charania said.

San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich is out indefinitely while recovering from an illness that forced him to miss Saturday's victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

“Indefinitely” covers a broad range of possibilities, with the only certainty being that this will be the longest regular-season absence of Popovich’s Hall of Fame career. He missed Saturday’s home victory over the Timberwolves, and will not join the Spurs on a trip that includes road games at the Clippers and the Rockets.

Interim head coach Mitch Johnson said he learned he would be filling in for Popovich just 2.5 hours before tipoff on Saturday
