According to reports, Gregg Popovich experienced a medical emergency on Tuesday night while he was in a Steakhouse in San Antonio.
The coach of San Antonio Spurs had a “slight blow” in November and has not trained since then.

According to reports, Popovich did not suffer injuries or diseases that threaten life, and was alert when he entered the ambulance.
The 76 -year -old lost six games earlier this season before the team announced that it had a stroke. He trained the first five games of the team season.
The team said it was expected to recover completely. Mitch Johnson has led the Spurs in the absence of Popovich.

In December, six weeks after his stroke, Popovich had not ruled out a return, saying ironic: “No one is more excited to see me return to the bank than to talented people who have led my rehabilitation process. They quickly learned that I am less trained.”
Popovich confirmed at the end of February that he would not return for the rest of the season.
“Mitch Johnson and his staff have done a wonderful job, and the resolution and professionalism that players have shown, that they stay together for a challenging season, has been outstanding,” he said in a statement at that time. “I will continue to focus on my health in the hope of being able to return to training in the future.”
