圣安东尼奥 – 据ESPN的沙姆斯·查拉尼亚周五报道，马刺队教练格雷格·波波维奇(Gregg Popovich)周二晚间在一家餐厅发生医疗事故后被送往医院，但现在已经回家并且情况良好。
76岁的波波维奇是NBA历史上最年长的教练，他曾在11月遭遇轻微中风，并缺席了本赛季剩余的比赛。
据TMZ首次报道的这起医疗事件，波波维奇被放在担架上送往医院，官方称其受伤或患病没有生命危险。消息人士告诉TMZ，波波维奇进入救护车时意识清醒。
11月2日，在对阵明尼苏达森林狼队的比赛前，波波维奇遭遇了球队称之为“轻微中风”的状况。这位名人堂教练自1996-97赛季以来一直执教马刺队，是NBA胜场最多的教练，拥有1412场常规赛胜利和170场季后赛胜利，并获得五次总冠军。
他于2023年与球队续签了一份为期五年的合同。
助理教练米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)以临时主教练身份接手，带领圣安东尼奥队在他的执教下取得了31胜45负的战绩。
球队的基石球员维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)在NBA全明星赛后不久被诊断出右肩患有深静脉血栓，或称血凝块，并被排除在本赛季剩余的常规赛之外。新加入的后卫达龙·福克斯(De’Aaron Fox)于2月份通过交易加入马刺队，因左手小指受伤需要手术而缺席了最后18场比赛。
在波波维奇最近的健康事件发生之前，马刺队就已经面临着不确定的未来，即这位教练是否会回归2025-26赛季。约翰逊表示，马刺队已经制定了一个休赛期计划，将在波波维奇缺席的情况下，由教练组从今年晚些时候开始共同执行。
“我想我还没有时间来处理这件事，” 约翰逊在周日的赛季结束后说道。“我知道这是一个合理的问题，我想我会像所有经历过这种事情的人一样，抽出一些时间休息一下，喘口气，和家人待在一起。
“球队仍然优先考虑波波维奇的健康。到时候，他会做他需要做的事情并做出决定。这将在球队的很多层面上进行。我们确实作为一个团队制定了该计划。显然，我在九年里的角色发生了变化。我今年春天要做的事情不会像八年前那样，但是自从我来到这里以来，球员发展一直是最重要的。”
球队内部始终坚定地认为，他们将让波波维奇自己决定是否要回到圣安东尼奥执教第30个赛季。自波波维奇中风以来一直与他保持联系的消息人士称，这位教练已向他们表达了下赛季重返教练席的意愿。
“我信任球队，” 文班亚马在赛季结束后说道。“我信任波波能尽其所能地回来并恢复精力。我也信任米奇能成长为那个角色。我认为我们得到了很好的照顾，整个球队都在互相支持。我已经为任何事情做好了准备，我知道球队会做出正确的决定。”
波波维奇在2月27日与马刺队球员进行了一次充满情感的会面，当时他发表了一份声明，表示他不会在本赛季回归，但希望将来能够回归。
“我将继续关注我的健康，希望将来能够重返教练席，” 他的声明中写道。
波波维奇是仅有的三位三次获得NBA年度最佳教练的教练之一，另外两位是唐·尼尔森和帕特·莱利。他也是赢得至少五次NBA总冠军的五位教练之一，另外四位是菲尔·杰克逊（11次）、里德·奥尔巴赫（9次）、约翰·昆德拉（5次）和莱利（5次）。

SAN ANTONIO – Spurs coach Gregg Popovich was taken to a hospital after a medical incident at a restaurant Tuesday night but is now home and doing fine, a source told ESPN’s Shams Charania on Friday.
The 76-year-old Popovich, who is the oldest coach in NBA history, had a mild stroke in November and missed the rest of the season.
According to TMZ, which first reported the medical incident, Popovich was placed onto a stretcher and taken to a hospital with what officials said was a non-life-threatening injury or illness. Sources told TMZ that Popovich was alert when he entered the ambulance.
On Nov. 2, Popovich suffered what the team called a “mild stroke” ahead of a matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Hall of Famer, who has coached the Spurs since the 1996-97 season, is the NBA’s winningest coach with 1,412 regular-season victories and another 170 in the postseason to go with five championships.
He agreed to a five-year contract extension with the team in 2023.
Assistant coach Mitch Johnson took over on an interim basis to lead San Antonio to a record of 31-45 under his watch.
Franchise cornerstone Victor Wembanyama was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis, or a blood clot, in his right shoulder shortly after the NBA All-Star break and was ruled out for the remainder of the regular season. Newly added guard De’Aaron Fox, who joined the Spurs in February through a trade, missed the final 18 games due to a left pinkie injury that required surgery.
Before Popovich’s latest health incident, the Spurs had already faced an uncertain future as to whether the coach would return for the 2025-26 season. Johnson said the Spurs have put together an offseason plan that will be executed collectively, starting later this spring, by the staff in Popovich’s absence.
“I think I haven’t had time to deal with it yet,” Johnson said after the season finale Sunday. "I understand it’s a fair question, and I think I will, hopefully like everybody that’s gone through this, take some time away, catch my breath and spend some time with family.
“This organization is still prioritizing Pop’s health. In time, he will do what he needs to do and make decisions. That will go through this organization on very many levels. We really put together that plan as a group. Obviously, my role has changed in nine years. What I’m doing this spring won’t be what I did eight years ago, but the player development has been at the forefront since I’ve been here.”
The organization has steadfastly maintained internally that it would let Popovich decide whether he wants to return for a 30th season in San Antonio. Sources who have been in contact with Popovich since his stroke have said the coach has expressed to them an intention to return to the bench next season.
“I trust the organization,” Wembanyama said after the season finale. “I trust Pop to [do] all he can to come back and get his energy back. And I also trust Mitch to grow into that role. I think we are in good hands supporting each other all throughout the organization. I’m ready for anything, and I know the organization will [make] the good decisions.”
Popovich had an emotional meeting with Spurs players Feb. 27, and he issued a statement at that time that he wouldn’t be returning this season but hoped to return in the future.
“I will continue to focus on my health with the hope that I can return to coaching in the future,” his statement said.
Popovich is one of just three coaches to win NBA Coach of the Year on three occasions, along with Don Nelson and Pat Riley. He is also one of five coaches to have won at least five NBA championships, along with Phil Jackson (11), Red Auerbach (nine), John Kundla (five) and Riley (five).
