San Antonio Spurs interim coach Mitch Johnson provided a statement before addressing the media Monday at Intuit Dome that highlighted Gregg Popovich's "impact on our organization" on the heels of what the team announced would be an indefinite absence after suffering a health issue Saturday at the Frost Bank Center.

“Indefinitely” covers a broad range of possibilities, with the only certainty being that this will be the longest regular-season absence of Popovich’s Hall of Fame career. He missed Saturday’s home victory over the Timberwolves, and will not join the Spurs on a trip that includes road games at the Clippers and the Rockets.
