SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs<\/a> have unveiled a banner celebrating Gregg Popovich. Fittingly, they did it quietly.<\/p>\n The Spurs were playing their home opener on Sunday when fans saw the new banner for the first time. There was no public ceremony when the banner was hoisted, a clear indicator that Popovich did not want any lavish celebration.<\/p>\n The banner hangs alongside David Robinson’s No. 50, Sean Elliott’s No. 32, Avery Johnson’s No. 6, Bruce Bowen’s No. 12, Tim Duncan’s No. 21, Manu Ginobili’s No. 20 and Tony Parker’s No. 9.<\/p>\n We are heartbroken to share the news of Nick Mangold’s sudden passing.<\/p>\n \u2014 New York Jets (@nyjets) October 26, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n The Ohio State football program is saddened by the news of Nick Mangold’s passing and sends heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. pic.twitter.com\/cvYMOGJ5iC<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Ohio State Football (@OhioStateFB) October 26, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n The new banner simply reads “Pop 1,390.” The 1,390 represents Popovich’s NBA-record regular-season win total with the team.<\/p>\n It is a slightly different design than the others, which are shaped as jerseys. Popovich’s banner has five stars along the top — the Spurs won five NBA championships with him as coach — and the team logo.<\/p>\n
