The NBA has revised Gregg Popovich's coaching record, removing the 77 games he missed last season due to health issues. This adjustment credits those wins and losses to Mitch Johnson, who filled in as head coach. Popovich's record now stands at 1,390-824, simplifying the transition as Johnson takes over fully. Despite this change, Popovich remains the all-time wins leader in the league and retains a high winning percentage, indicating his significant impact on the Spurs franchise.

Popovich expressed his decision to step back as coach, emphasizing his enduring commitment to the team in a different capacity. The precedent for such adjustments has occurred in the past, as seen in the 1980 season with the Los Angeles Lakers, solidifying the practice as part of NBA history.
