Midden in de Playoffs kreeg de NBA het droevige nieuws dat Erin Popovich, de vrouw van Spurs-coach Gregg Popovich helaas overleden is. Popovich was daardoor niet aanwezig op game 3 van zijn Spurs tegen de Golden State Warriors.
Er kwam meteen veel steun uit alle hoeken van de NBA. LeBron James moest het live op tv vernemen in een interview. Dit was zijn reactie.
