Phil Jackson plans to coach for as long as the Lakers stay in this postseason, then will determine this summer if he is able to continue his career, he said Monday.

Back among his staff and players for the first time since Saturday's angioplasty procedure opened an artery in his heart that was 90% blocked, Jackson wore sunglasses indoors Monday afternoon, but appeared comfortable and pleased with his early progress.

After resting at his home in Playa del Rey during Sunday's Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals, won by the Lakers, Jackson ran Monday's meetings and practice, boarded the team flight to San Antonio in the afternoon, and was intending to be on the bench tonight for Game 5. The best-of-seven series against the Spurs is tied at two games apiece, the Lakers having won the last two.
