Wembanyama ready for Popovich to return for 29th season as Spurs coach

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich told reporters before Sunday's game he would need about a 'week and a half' off before he would 'be ready to go' again. A few hours later after the Spurs ' 123-95 thrashing of Detroit in the season finale, Popovich gave an even stronger signal that he would return in the fall for his 29th season as the team's head coach.

' 'He made it very clear day one he cares about his guys as people first,' the 20-year-old French phenom said. 'I know there's so many situations in basketball in the league, outside the league, the relationship between coaches and players is far from being perfect. But I'm just glad things are the way they are here because he's there. He is there to poke on us sometimes or to correct us.
