Gregg Popovich's all-time record for coaching victories is now 32 smaller.

The NBA adjusted Popovich's record after he missed the last 77 games of the 2024-25 season due to a stroke. The Spurs went 32-45 in those games, coached by Mitch Johnson.

Popovich, who relinquished his head-coaching duties after the season, now has a 1,390-824 record. He's still the record-holder by 55 wins over Don Nelson (1,335).

Johnson served as the interim coach after Popovich stepped aside five games into the season due to his health issues. The Spurs named Johnson the full-time coach when the 76-year-old Popovich stepped away to become a team president.

Popovich has won five NBA titles during his Hall of Fame head coaching career that began in 1996-97 with the Spurs. He guided San Antonio to an NBA record 18 straight 50-win seasons. The streak was snapped with a 47-35 record in 2017-18.
