LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – Gregg Popovich was working in a mask on Thursday — though not in his usual role — when the San Antonio Spurs made their scrimmage debut at the NBA restart at Walt Disney World.Popovich was not serving as head coach for the game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Spurs had Becky Hammon in that role Thursday and will use Mitch Johnson there on Saturday and Will Hardy in their scrimmage finale on Tuesday.
Popovich was seated to their left, slightly behind the group, for the first half and moved into a first-row seat to begin the second half with his mask still in place.It is unclear if Popovich will wear a mask for the entirety of the Spurs’ time at Disney.
