NBA Adjusts Gregg Popovich Career Record Removing 77 Spurs Games
The NBA has officially adjusted Gregg Popovich's career coaching record by removing the 77 games he missed last season due to a stroke and crediting those games, with a 32-45 record, to Mitch Johnson, who served as interim and is now the full-time head coach of the San Antonio Spurs. Popovich's revised record stands at 1,390-824, maintaining his status as the NBA's all-time wins leader and slightly increasing his winning percentage from .621 to .628. This adjustment mirrors a precedent set in the 1979-80 NBA season when the Los Angeles Lakers reassigned coaching credits after Jack McKinney's injury. Popovich retired as head coach in May but remains with the Spurs as team president, continuing to influence the franchise. Players and officials have expressed support for Johnson's leadership, with De'Aaron Fox praising his coaching and Popovich endorsing him as a capable successor. The Spurs are now building around a promising young core including Victor Wembanyama, Dylan Harper, and others, while looking ahead under Johnson's guidance.
