For the first time since the death of his wife, Ingrid, following a Feb. 9 car crash, Monty Williams was at Chesapeake Energy Arena for Game 1 of the Oklahoma City Thunder series against the Dallas Mavericks.

The Thunder announced March 11 that Williams wouldn't return to the team this season.

In March, Billy Donovan said Williams' return will likely be decided after his children finish their academic school year.

“He’s still, in my opinion, part of this family, part of this organization,” Donovan said. “I think the one thing we’ve always tried to do here is always extend an open invitation."

Williams was also at Oklahoma City's practice before Game 1 on Friday.
