stroke

LeBron James says his thoughts are with ‘my dear friend’ San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, who recently suffered a mild stroke, ahead of Lakers-Spurs NBA Cup game.

LeBron James, the tournament’s Most Valuable Player, said his thoughts Friday will be elsewhere when the Cup defense begins — and that’s the health of Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, who recently suffered a mild stroke.

The Spurs revealed earlier Wednesday that longtime coach Gregg Popovich suffered a mild stroke Nov. 2 at the team’s arena in the hours before a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Hall of Fame coach Gregg Popovich has been away from the team because he suffered a mild stroke earlier this month, the San Antonio Spurs announced.
