The NBA has recalibrated Gregg Popovich's coaching record, removing the 77 games he missed last season due to health issues. With this adjustment, his final record stands at 1,390-824, aligning with where he was prior to a health incident on Nov. 2. Those games have been credited to Mitch Johnson, who served as acting head coach and experienced a 32-45 record during that stretch. Popovich announced his retirement earlier this year but continues as Spurs president.

This decision echoes similar adjustments in NBA history, such as the Lakers in the 1979-80 season, showcasing the league's willingness to maintain accurate records. Popovich remains the winningest coach in NBA history and has seen a slight increase in his winning percentage from .621 to .628, sitting seventh among coaches with over 400 games.
