The wife of San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich has died aged 67.
The Spurs confirmed Erin Popovich’s death Wednesday. The team didn’t provide further details, though ESPN reported she had been “ill over an extended period”.
“We mourn the loss of Erin,” Spurs general manager RC Buford said in a team statement. “She was a strong, wonderful, kind, intelligent woman who provided love, support and humor to all of us.”
The Popovichs were married four decades and had two children.
Gregg Popovich has coach San Antonio since 1996, leading the Spurs to five NBAtitles.
San Antonio trails two games to none in their best-of-seven-games first-round playoff series with the Golden State Warriors.
“The whole NBA family is supporting him, got his back through it all,” Warriors star Kevin Durant said. “Feel so bad for Pop.”
