波波维奇在11月遭遇中风后一直在恢复，他告知球队自己不会在本赛季回归。
几天前，有报道称格雷格·波波维奇本赛季不会回归执教马刺，因为他仍在从11月2日遭遇的轻微中风中恢复。现在，他本人已经向球员们证实了这一点。正如NBA内部人士克里斯·海恩斯率先报道的那样，波波维奇亲自向球队讲话，告知他们不必再等待他。
“我已经决定本赛季不再回到场边执教，”波波维奇在一份新闻稿中表示，“米奇·约翰逊和他的教练组做得非常出色，球员们在充满挑战的赛季中表现出的决心和职业精神令人赞叹。我将继续专注于我的健康，并希望将来能够重返教练岗位。”
再次强调，波波维奇本赛季不回归的消息此前已经被ESPN的沙姆斯·查拉尼亚报道过，但现在已经正式确认。沙拉尼亚表示，很高兴他能亲自告诉他的球员们。马刺队在周三输给火箭队后，在周六于孟菲斯对阵灰熊队之前有两天休息时间，因此看来球队已经回到了圣安东尼奥。据报道，自从 维克多·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama) 被诊断出患有深静脉血栓后，波波维奇一直与 文班亚马 保持联系，因此，当他有机会时，决定与球队的其他成员沟通，更新他的康复情况，这一点并不令人惊讶。
在 波波维奇 中风后的第一份官方声明中，他说他正试图尽快回到场边。现在很明显，这在本赛季不会发生，但他表示希望下赛季能够回归，这令人鼓舞。他的健康是最重要的，所以他花时间专注于康复而不是急于回归是件好事。
现在马刺队已经明确了本赛季剩余的比赛将如何进行。米奇·约翰逊将继续担任代理主教练，直到休赛期。未来仍然不确定，但这是球队有时间解决的问题。
编者注：本报道已更新，包含波波维奇的声明。

Report: Gregg Popovich told Spurs players he won’t return to coaching this season
Popovich, who is still recovering from a stroke he suffered in November, informed his team that he won’t return this year.
A few days ago it was reported that Gregg Popovich would not return this season to coach the Spurs, as he continues to recover from a mild stroke he suffered on Nov. 2. Now the man himself has confirmed it to his players. Pop addressed the team in person to inform them that they shouldn’t be waiting for him, as first reported by NBA insider Chris Haynes.
“I’ve decided not to return to the sidelines this season,” Popovich said in a press release. “Mitch Johnson and his staff have done a wonderful job and the resolve and professionalism the players have shown, sticking together during a challenging season, has been outstanding. I will continue to focus on my health with the hope that I can return to coaching in the future.”
Again, Pop not returning this season had already been reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania, but it’s now official. It’s great that he got to tell his players in person, as well, according to Sharania. The Spurs have two days off before facing the Grizzlies in Memphis on Saturday after losing to the Rockets on Wednesday, so it seems the team made it back to San Antonio. It’s been reported that Pop has been in contact with Victor Wembanyama since the big man was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis, so it’s not surprising that he decided to address the rest of the team to update them on his recovery when he had the chance.
In his first official statement after the stroke, Popovich said he was trying to get back to the sidelines as soon as possible. It’s now clear it won’t happen this season, but the fact that he says he hopes to return next season is encouraging. His health is what matters most, so it’s good that he’s taking his time to focus on his recovery instead of rushing back.
The Spurs now have clarity about how the rest of this campaign will go. Mitch Johnson will remain the acting head coach until the offseason. The future remains uncertain, but that’s a problem the franchise will have time to address.
Editor’s note: This story has been updated to include Popovich’s statement.
