Fans were also delighted to see the legendary mentor.
“Pop’s commitment is second to none. Succession plan and player development. A legend,” he said @Glitchimagic.
“Looks a lot better than last time! I’m glad he’s on the mend,” he added @NotThatJoker.
“He seems to have made a lot of progress,” echoed @ChildrenNeedUs_.
“I LOVE TO SEE THAT!” published @RickP7369.
“I love our team, man. Really, there’s no culture like the Spurs culture.” commented @Pannest.
In May, Popović resigned as coach due to health problems after a mild stroke. He led the game for Spurs for 29 seasons, leading them to five titles. He is the all-time leader in regular season wins with 1,309.
We hope that Popović will be able to sit on the bench in one of the Spurs games.
