Livio Jean-Charles will return to ASVEL, a French team owned by Tony Parker.

Jean-Charles came to the United States this season but was released by the San Antonio Spurs in training camp.

Jean-Charles spent the season in the D-League with the Austin Spurs, averaging 9.9 points and 5.5 rebounds.

Becky Hammon has turned down an offer to become head coach at the University of Florida's women's team to remain with the San Antonio Spurs as an assistant coach.

While Florida's offer was more than Hammon is receiving with the Spurs, it was in the lower tier for the SEC.

Hammon considered the job for a few days before reaching her decision.

Hammon has long wanted to become the NBA's first female head coach.

Becky Hammon is one of three finalists for the University of Florida women's basketball head coaching position.

Hammon was hired by the San Antonio Spurs as an assistant coach in 2014.

Hammon was a six-time WNBA All-Star and played collegiately at Colorado State.

Florida fired Amanda Butler after 10 seasons.

The San Antonio Spurs announced LaMarcus Aldridge has been cleared to resume all basketball-related activities.

After Aldridge had an occurrence of a minor heart arrhythmia in Oklahoma City on March 9, the Spurs medical staff led a process that included multiple tests and examinations as well as consultation with numerous experts in the field.  

"We are thankful that LaMarcus will be able to rejoin the team," said Spurs General Manager RC Buford. "All of us have been impressed with the professionalism and grace he has shown in dealing with this difficult situation." 

Aldridge is available to play in Wednesday's Spurs-Blazers game with no restrictions.

Monty Williams has rejected an offer to become head coach of Illinois.

Williams was let go as head coach by the New Orleans Pelicans after the 14-15 season. Williams spent last season with the Oklahoma City Thunder until his wife, Ingrid, was killed in a car accident in February.

Williams is working in the San Antonio Spurs' front office this season and is expected to be one of the NBA's top coaching candidates this offseason.

Illinois fired John Groce after five seasons.

Kawhi Leonard has entered the league's concussion protocol and will not play in Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors.

Leonard suffered an apparent head injury on Thursday night, late in the third quarter of the Spurs' 102-92 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

"He got hit in the mouth or the cheek or the head or something. I'm not sure which. So the trainer thought he should sit," Popovich said.

The Spurs originally anticipated that Leonard would not go into the NBA's concussion protocol but changed course after performing additional evaluations.

Leonard's injury came during a contest that a few Spurs described as "chippy" due to the physicality between the teams throughout.

LaMarcus Aldridge will be out indefinitely due to an occurrence of a minor heart arrhythmia.

All parties have concluded that at the current time it is best for Aldridge to refrain from play until further tests and examinations are completed.

The Spurs will provide updates as appropriate.

Aldridge was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome in 2007.

Aldridge is averaging 17.3 points and 7.4 rebounds in 32.6 minutes per game this season for the Spurs.

The Miami Heat’s Erik Spoelstra and the San Antonio Spurs’ Gregg Popovich were named the NBA Eastern and Western Conference Coaches of the Month, respectively, for games played in February. 

Spoelstra led the Heat to an 8-3 record, the second-best mark in the Eastern Conference, as Miami played only four games at home (3-1) and seven on the road (5-2).  Miami won its first five games in February to extend its winning streak to 13, the longest in the NBA this season and the third-longest in franchise history.  The Heat also won three of its final four games of the month, with each victory coming against a team currently in position to make the playoffs (Houston Rockets, Atlanta Hawks and Indiana Pacers).  For the month, Miami ranked third in the East in scoring (110.3 ppg) and second in points allowed (101.6 ppg).

Popovich guided the Spurs to a Western Conference-best 8-2 record in February, going 6-2 on the road and 2-0 at home.  San Antonio closed the month with four consecutive victories, all on the road.  When the Spurs defeated the Denver Nuggets 121-97 on Feb. 4, Popovich recorded his 1,128th victory as San Antonio head coach and passed former Utah Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan for the most wins with one franchise in NBA history.  With a 110-106 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Feb. 13, the Spurs set an NBA record by clinching their 20th straight winning season.

Other nominees for the NBA Eastern and Western Conference Coaches of the Month were Boston’s Brad Stevens, Cleveland’s Tyronn Lue, Detroit’s Stan Van Gundy, Golden State’s Steve Kerr, Houston’s Mike D’Antoni, Memphis’ David Fizdale, Oklahoma City’s Billy Donovan, Utah’s Quin Snyder and Washington’s Scott Brooks.
