**Gregg Popovich Steps Down for Season 🏀**
Gregg Popovich, the 76-year-old head coach of the San Antonio Spurs and the NBA's all-time coaching wins leader, has decided not to return to the sidelines this season. In a statement released by the team, Popovich expressed his gratitude to the team's acting coach, Mitch Johnson, and the players for their professionalism and resolve during a challenging season.

**Reason for Decision 💔**
Popovich has been away from the team since having a stroke at the team's arena in San Antonio on November 2. Although he is expected to make a full recovery, he has not been seen at games or practices since the incident.
**Future Plans 🤔**
Popovich has not ruled out a comeback in the future and will continue to focus on his health. He agreed to a five-year contract extension with the team in 2023, which would have him signed through the 2027-28 season.
**Recent Developments 🚨**
The Spurs announced last week that All-Star center Victor Wembanyama will not play again this season due to a blood clot in his right shoulder. The team has not provided an update on Popovich's rehabilitation process beyond saying he is expected to make a full recovery.
