Gregg Popovich stepped down as coach of the San Antonio Spurs on Friday, ending a three-decade run that saw him lead the team to five NBA championships, become the league's all-time wins leader and earn induction into the Basketball Hall of Fame.
'While my love and passion for the game remain, I've decided it's time to step away as head coach,' Popovich said.
He will remain as team president.

2022 Wimbledon finalist Nick Kyrgios will miss the tournament this year
LONDON (AP) — Nick Kyrgios, the Wimbledon runner-up in 2022, will miss the Grand Slam tournament and the rest of the grass-court season, he said on Tuesday. The 30-year-old Australian has dealt with injuries in recent seasons, including wrist and knee operations. He's played only five singles matches in 2025, going 1-4. His most recent tournament was the Miami Open in March, when he won a match for the first time in nearly 2 1/2 years. 'I've hit a small setback in my recovery and unfortunately won't make it back for grass season this year,' Kyrgios posted. He's ranked 633rd. He was as high as 13th in 2016. Wimbledon begins on June 30. ___

Today in Chicago History: Naperville native loses ‘Jeopardy!' after 32-day winning streak
Here's a look back at what happened in the Chicago area on June 3, according to the Tribune's archives. Is an important event missing from this date? Email us. Weather records (from the National Weather Service, Chicago) High temperature: 95 degrees (1895) Low temperature: 37 degrees (1945) Precipitation: 2.9 inches (1885) Snowfall: None 1975: Walter Payton became the then highest-paid rookie in Chicago Bears history, signing a three-year contract that would pay him at least $150,000 a year (roughly $897,000 in today's dollars). The Bears' first-round pick decided to sign with the team while fishing on property in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, owned by his attorney, Bud Holmes. Also in 1975: 'Chicago the Musical' debuted on Broadway 50 years ago. It was based on the 1926 play of the same name by former Tribune reporter Maurine Dallas Watkins. Directed by Chicago native Bob Fosse and starring Gwen Verdon, Chita Rivera and Jerry Orbach, the tale of an unfaithful wife who murders her lover then works the judicial system to secure her freedom was set against the backdrop of Prohibition and the Jazz Age. 1992: Michael Jordan dropped six 3-pointers en route to 35 first-half points during Game 1 of the NBA Finals — known as 'The Shrug' game — versus the Portland Trail Blazers and Clyde Drexler, whom some thought should have won the regular-season MVP award that Jordan captured. 2003: Chicago Cubs right fielder Sammy Sosa was ejected in the first inning of a game against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays after his bat shattered on a groundout to second base and pieces of cork were found among the shards. Plate umpire Tim McClelland conferred with his crew, then ejected Sosa for using a corked bat. Sosa had 505 career home runs at that point, Tribune columnist Paul Sullivan later wrote, and many wondered how many had been hit with an illegal bat. The incident forever stained Sosa's reputation, though not as much as the belief he used steroids, which effectively has kept him out of the Hall of Fame. Column: Sammy Sosa-Chicago Cubs reunion is another Christmas miracle — ending the slugger's 20-year exile Sosa apologized 'from the bottom of my heart' after the game. He acknowledged ownership of the bat, explaining that he occasionally used it for batting practice and for home run exhibitions to entertain his fans. He said it had been inadvertently mixed in with his regular bats. Sosa was suspended for seven games and was traded after the 2004 season. He remained estranged from the Cubs until December 2024. 2019: Naperville native James Holzhauer's 'Jeopardy!' win streak ended after 32 consecutive days with total winnings of $2.46 million. The professional gambler lost to University of Chicago librarian Emma Boettcher. Q&A with 'Jeopardy!' champion James Holzhauer: On working for the Cubs, cashing in on his celebrity and changing how the game is played Holzhauer won the 'Jeopardy! Masters' tournament in 2023 for which he took home the Alex Trebek trophy and a $500,000 grand prize.

I'm the OKC mayor. Copying Indy's sports strategy brought us to the NBA Finals.
Team success in professional sports often serves as a metaphor for a city's progress. As we face each other in the NBA Finals, the eyes of the world are on Oklahoma City and Indianapolis. Thanks to the exploits of our basketball teams, the cities behind that success are also in the spotlight. From this exposure, we both anticipate benefits for years to come. Students of Oklahoma City history will see it as poetic that we are facing Indianapolis at such an important moment in our city's history. I suspect you might not know why, so I felt compelled to share. In the early 1990s, for nearly two years, our two cities competed vigorously and publicly for a United Airlines maintenance facility that was purported to bring over 7,000 new jobs. In October 1991, United chose Indianapolis, despite Oklahoma City's herculean efforts, including voter approval of a sales tax to incentivize United. It was reported that we offered $200 million cash. The competition between cities for major economic developments is relatively common, and this opportunity ended up bringing far fewer and less stable jobs than were promised. And so this tale might have largely been forgotten had it not been the catalyst for what came next in Oklahoma City. Our mayor at the time, Ron Norick, visited with United Airlines leadership after the failed bid. The feedback and his own conclusions delivered clarity. Our city might have offered friendly people and easy living, but our downtown was dead, we had no professional sports and, generally, living in OKC was like living in an alternate universe outside of American pop culture. Norick was determined to learn from this defeat. So he got on a plane and flew to Indianapolis. There, he found a vibrant downtown and two major league professional sports teams. Like OKC, Indianapolis lacked mountains or an ocean, but it had a central meeting place and reasons for people to rally there. Through its downtown and its sports teams, and all the things that come with those amenities, Indianapolis offered a quality of life appropriate to a city its size. OKC was also a pretty large city, but after being hollowed out by urban renewal, an oil bust and a banking crisis, it felt more like a place where a lot of people just happened to live. Indianapolis — previously our foil — was now our inspiration. Norick decided to propose an initiative that was focused on our city's quality of life, with a particular emphasis on entertainment downtown. His initiative would be called Metropolitan Area Projects and would entail a temporary one-cent sales tax to fund the construction of nine projects (including the arena that is hosting Games 1 and 2 of the NBA Finals). The priorities might have seemed superficial, but as it turned out, our city's lack of such amenities was proving to be an existential crisis. In December 1993, our voters narrowly passed MAPS with 53% support. Sixteen months later, a domestic terrorist bombed our federal office building, murdering 168 of our neighbors. That was our darkest day, and it followed nearly 15 years of adversity. But, by 1998, MAPS projects were beginning to open. From that point forward, Oklahoma City has been on an uninterrupted upward trajectory that has become one of the greatest urban renaissance stories ever told. Opinion: Jim Irsay built everything we love about downtown Indianapolis OKC is now the 20th-largest city in the U.S., we have one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation, we have major developments coming online every month and we now boast all the trappings of a great American city, from James Beard-winning restaurants to hip entertainment districts. And we have not stopped investing. In fact, we are now on MAPS 4. Its $1.1 billion is being deployed as we speak. Our downtown has gone from one hotel in 1993 to nearly 30. And, like Indianapolis, we have leveraged sports. In fact, I joined our chamber of commerce and dozens of city leaders on a 2006 trip to Indianapolis, where we toured all of your sports venues, including your NBA arena. Less than two years later, our Thunder began their NBA journey. We are also the home of the Women's College World Series and seven events of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Thirty-four years after our United Airlines loss to Indianapolis, Oklahoma City is now in the NBA Finals, an achievement that feels like the capstone of an amazing American success story. It has been a journey inspired by you. Should another chapter be written in the weeks ahead, I regret to tell you that you'll have no one but yourselves to blame.
