Sad.
Don Newman, an assistant coach who was part of a pair of Spurs championship teams, has died after a battle with cancer. He was 60.
Newman was a member of coach Gregg Popovich's Spurs staff from 2004-12, helping the Spurs win les in 2005 and 2007. He left in 2012 to become the lead assistant under Randy Wittman in Washington, where he remained until 2016.
A New Orleans native, Newman began his professional sports career as a football player, playing for four teams in the Canadian Football League from 1981 to 1986, and spent time in NFL training camps with the Seattle Seahawks and New York Jets. He broke into the NBA in 1999 as an assistant under George Karl in Milwaukee, and also enjoyed a stint in New Jersey before joining the Spurs.
Funeral services for Newman are pending.
