The San Antonio Spurs say veteran coach Gregg Popovich is “expected to make a full recovery” after he suffered a mild stroke earlier this month.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 75-year-old has missed the Spurs’ last six games with what was originally described as an undisclosed health issue.<\/p>\n

He suffered the a stroke on 2 November at the team’s arena before a home win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.<\/p>\n

A club statement said Popovich “has already started a rehabilitation program” but the “timeline for his return to the sidelines has not been determined”.<\/p>\n

Assistant Mitch Johnson has stepped in as interim coach in Popovich’s absence.<\/p>\n
