The Brooklyn Nets are seriously exploring the possibility of bringing on Spurs legend Gregg Popovich as the team's next head coach, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.
Popovich, 71, has given no public indication he would consider leaving San Antonio in favor of another franchise. Following the Spurs' final seeding game of the 2019-20 season, Popovich was asked about if he planned to return to the team next season.
"Why wouldn't I," he said.
By missing the postseason this year, the Spurs snapped their 22-year consecutive playoff appearance streak. The mark was by far the longest active streak in the NBA.
