SAN ANTONIO - Former San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said on May 5 that his health was improving following a stroke, but added that the time had come for him to pass the reins to assistant Mitch Johnson.
In his first public remarks since his illness in November, National Basketball Association (NBA) icon Popovich appeared at a press conference flanked by former players Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan as he formally introduced Johnson.
The Spurs had announced on May 2 that Popovich was stepping down as coach after 29 seasons, which included leading San Antonio to five NBA championships.
