据ESPN的沙姆斯·查拉尼亚报道，名人堂教练格雷格·波波维奇(Gregg Popovich)周四与圣安东尼奥马刺队的球员们进行了一次充满情感的面对面会面。自从去年11月波波维奇中风以来，这是球员们第一次见到他。
会面结束后，波波维奇发表声明称，他正式决定本赛季不再担任教练，但希望将来能够回归。消息人士周六告诉ESPN，波波维奇的NBA未来尚不确定。
“我已经决定本赛季不再回到场边执教，”波波维奇周四发表声明说，“米奇·约翰逊和他的团队做得非常出色，球员们所展现出的决心和专业精神，在这样一个充满挑战的赛季中团结一致，非常出色。”
“我将继续专注于我的健康，希望将来能够重返教练岗位。”
消息人士告诉ESPN，在周四的会面中，房间里的人都流下了眼泪，球员们也看到了波波维奇自中风以来所经历的身体迹象。然而，消息人士称，这次会面充满了教练的激励信息、玩笑、批评和赞扬。
波波维奇是NBA历史上胜场最多的教练，拥有1412场常规赛胜利和170场季后赛胜利，并带领球队获得了五次总冠军。11月2日，在对阵明尼苏达森林狼队的比赛前，他遭遇了球队所称的“轻微中风”。
自从约翰逊以临时主教练的身份接手球队以来，马刺队的战绩为22胜30负。
波波维奇自1996-97赛季以来一直执教马刺队，今年1月年满76岁，是NBA历史上最年长的教练。他于2023年与球队续签了一份为期五年的合同。
在他探望球队的前一周，马刺队宣布全明星中锋维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)——当时是年度最佳防守球员的热门人选，也是全NBA最佳阵容的有力竞争者——由于右肩发现深静脉血栓，也就是血栓，本赛季将不再上场。
文班亚马在法国打过职业比赛后，于2023年选秀大会上以状元秀的身份来到圣安东尼奥，他称波波维奇是他篮球生涯中影响最大的人。
“波波不仅仅是一位教练或老板，”21岁的文班亚马本月早些时候表示。“波波是一位领袖。”
在周四之前，波波维奇唯一一次公开评论他的健康和未来是在12月中旬，当时他说他和他的家人对“我们在这段时间里收到的支持表示感谢”。

Gregg Popovich visits with Spurs, won’t return this season
Hall of Fame coach Gregg Popovich held an emotional in-person meeting Thursday with San Antonio Spurs players, who were all able to see him for the first time since his stroke in November, sources told ESPN’s Shams Charania.
After the meeting, Popovich issued a statement saying he officially will not return as coach this season but hopes to return in the future. Sources told ESPN on Saturday that Popovich’s NBA future is uncertain.
“I’ve decided not to return to the sidelines this season,” Popovich said in a statement issued Thursday. "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.”
Sources told ESPN that tears were shed from those in the room during Thursday’s meeting and players saw physical signs of what Popovich has gone through since the stroke. The meeting, however, was filled with motivational messages, jokes, critique and praise from the coach, sources said.
Popovich is the NBA’s winningest coach with 1,412 regular-season victories and another 170 in the postseason to go with five championships. On Nov. 2, he suffered what the team called a “mild stroke” ahead of a matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Spurs have gone 22-30 since moving Johnson, an assistant, into the head coaching role on an interim basis.
Popovich, who has coached the Spurs since the 1996-97 season, turned 76 in January and is the oldest coach in NBA history. He agreed to a five-year contract extension with the team in 2023.
His visit to the team came a week after the Spurs announced that All-Star center Victor Wembanyama – the defensive player of the year favorite at the time and someone who was a serious candidate to make the All-NBA team – will not play again this season after deep vein thrombosis, or a blood clot, was found in his right shoulder.
Wembanyama, who came to San Antonio as the No. 1 pick in the 2023 draft after playing as a pro in France, has called Popovich his biggest basketball influence.
“Pop isn’t just a coach or a boss,” the 21-year-old Wembanyama said earlier this month. “Pop is a leader.”
Popovich’s only public comment prior to Thursday about his health and his future came in mid-December, when he said he and his family were overwhelmed by “the outpouring of support we’ve received during this time.”
