San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich said he won't stand in the way of any players who choose to protest during the national anthem once the regular season begins.
Speaking during the team's media day, Popovich told reporters he won't discourage his players from kneeling while "The Star-Spangled Banner" is playing. The San Antonio Express-News' Jabari Young shared a clip of Popovich's comments:
