Brett Brown Returns To Spurs As Assistant

Brett Brown has returned to the Spurs as an assistant coach, the team announced in a press release.

Brown was on Gregg Popovich’s staff in San Antonio for 11 seasons from 2002-13, first as the club’s director of player development, then as an assistant coach.

“I’m thrilled to be able to hire such a good coach, human being and dinner partner,” Popovich said.

Brown left San Antonio to become the head coach with the Sixers. He patrolled Philadelphia’s sidelines through the 2019/20 season.

Brown joins Mitch Johnson and Matt Nielsen on Popovich’s staff. Given that Popovich is 73, it’s fair to wonder if Brown will emerge as a candidate to eventually replace Popovich when he retires.
