@PlayoffBoundNYK: “Prayers up for Pop 🙏
At 75 it might be wise to step away from the game, he’s got nothing left to prove.”

The Spurs are 3-3 in their first six games of the new season.
They will play the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday evening in California.
Popovich is in his 29th season at the helm, and they have won five titles in that span.
