LOS ANGELES (AP) — Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich sat out San Antonio’s game against the Lakers with an illness. The 73-year-old Popovich apparently felt fine during his pregame media availability, but then fell ill shortly before tipoff in Los Angeles. Assistant coach Brett Brown ran the Spurs’ bench in Popovich’s absence. Popovich has been the Spurs’ head coach since 1996. The Spurs had lost four straight and nine of 10 heading into their meeting with the Lakers. San Antonio and Los Angeles will meet three times in seven days.
