Popovich has been the Spurs’ coach since the 1996-97 season. He holds the record as the NBA’s winningest coach with 1,412 regular-season victories and 170 postseason wins. He has led the team to five championships. Popovich signed a five-year contract extension in 2023. Under interim coach Mitch Johnson, the Spurs finished with a 31-45 record. Victor Wembanyama was sidelined for the remainder of the season due to deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder.
