2023年10月13日，马刺队在弗罗斯特中心进行的季前赛中对阵迈阿密热火队。比赛期间，马刺队主教练格雷格·波波维奇(Gregg Popovich)与比赛官员交谈。马刺队以120-104击败了迈阿密热火队。
巴黎——马刺队在法国的冒险之旅已经进行了三天，但他们的队伍中却缺少一位关键人物。
主教练格雷格·波波维奇(Gregg Popovich)原本会非常喜欢这次充满国际氛围的旅程，但他目前仍在圣安东尼奥恢复去年11月遭受的中风。
马刺队首席执行官R.C. 布福德(R.C. Buford)表示，球队仍然希望波波维奇能够在某个时候回归。
“他正在进行康复治疗，情况正在好转，”布福德说。“我们不知道具体时间，但我们期待他回来。”
马刺队控球后卫克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)说他仍然定期与波波维奇交谈。
“每场比赛后他都会打电话，”保罗说。“我会和他聊聊。他会告诉我他的观察。我非常感激他这样做。因为他不是非做不可，但他还是做了。”
代理教练米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)在波波维奇缺席期间带领马刺队取得了17胜19负的战绩。他也表示，他仍然希望他的老板能够在某个时候回归，但他无法提供任何时间表方面的暗示。
“从一开始，波波的健康就是首要任务，并将一直持续下去……”约翰逊说。“这就是我们的态度。我们希望波波一切都好，也希望球队一切都好。无论如何，只要我能帮上忙，我就会全力以赴。”

Spurs’ Buford: Popovich return not out of the question
Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich talks with game officials as the Spurs play Miami during their pre-season game at the Frost Center on Oct. 13, 2023. Spurs defeated Miami, 120-104.
PARIS — Three days into their adventure in France, the Spurs have been missing one key piece of their traveling party.
Coach Gregg Popovich would have loved this internationally flavored trip, except he is back in San Antonio still recovering from a stroke suffered in November.
Spurs Chief Executive Officer R.C. Buford indicated the team still harbors hope Popovich will return at some point.
“He’s doing his rehab and improving,” Buford said. "We don’t know when that will be, but we expect him to be back.”
Spurs point guard Chris Paul said he still talks to Popovich on a regular basis.
“He calls after game,” Paul said. “I talk to him. He tells me what he sees. I appreciate that more than anything. Because he doesn’t have to do that, and he does.”
Acting coach Mitch Johnson, who has led the Spurs to a 17-19 record in Popovich’s absence, said he, too, remains hopeful his boss will return at some point but could offer no hint of a timetable.
“Pop’s health has been the priority since the start of this and will be until … dot, dot, dot,” Johnson said. "That’s kind of how we take the approach. We want the best for Pop and the best for this team. However I can help is where I’ll put my energy.”
