San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich was taken to a hospital after a medical incident at a restaurant on Tuesday night but is now home and doing fine, a source told ESPN’s Shams Charania on Friday.

Popovich, 76, had a mild stroke in November and missed the rest of the NBA season.

According to TMZ, which first reported the medical incident, Popovich was placed onto a stretcher and taken to a hospital with what officials said was a non-life-threatening injury or illness. Sources told TMZ that Popovich was alert when he entered the ambulance.

Popovich is the NBA’s winningest coach with 1,412 regular-season victories and another 170 in the postseason to go with five championships. On Nov. 2, he suffered what the team called a “mild stroke” ahead of a matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Popovich had an emotional meeting with Spurs players on Feb. 27, and he issued a statement at that time that he officially wouldn’t be returning this season but hopes to return in the future.

“I will continue to focus on my health with the hope that I can return to coaching in the future,” his statement said.

Sources told ESPN at the time that Popovich’s NBA future was uncertain.

The Hall of Famer, who has coached the Spurs since the 1996-97 season, turned 76 in January and is the oldest coach in NBA history. He agreed to a five-year contract extension with the team in 2023.
