Wake Forest coach Steve Forbes says his wife is regaining movement on her left side following a stroke last month and he plans to continue with his coaching duties entering preseason practices. Johnetta Forbes, 58, suffered the stroke Aug. 8 and is receiving treatment at the Shepherd Center, a neuro-rehabilitation facility, in Atlanta. Steve Forbes said Monday she didn’t suffer memory damage, is making “incremental” progress and is determined to be able to walk when she is scheduled to leave the facility Sept. 22. With her progress so far, Forbes is ready to be a caregiving husband and power-conference basketball coach. “As far as stepping away, no — first of all, I don’t think that’s what my wife would want,” Forbes said in a Zoom call with reporters.
