“He’s not feeling well,” Johnson said Saturday evening. “This has happened before. I think everyone just always has to be ready for the next guy. We’ve had it with injuries and sometimes people get sick or don’t feel well or things happen in life. He just doesn’t feel Good.” Good.”

ESPN reported Monday that Popovich will be sidelined for a while. The team told the outlet that Popovich did not travel with the team for road games against the Los Angeles Clippers and Houston Rockets.

Popovich, 75, is the NBA’s career leader in wins with 1,390 victories. He is in his 29th season with the Spurs and has five NBA championships on his resume.

The Spurs won the game on Saturday under Johnson’s leadership.

Keldon Johnson scored 25 points and Chris Paul had 15 points and 13 assists.

“Mitch did a great job, man,” Paul said, via ESPN. “I think our entire coaching staff did that. Things happen all the time in this league and just like with the players, it’s the next man up. So, shoutout to Mitch; he did a great job tonight.”
