NBA Rumor Central: Monty Williams leaving the Thunder

Oklahoma City Thunder assistant coach Monty Williams has been away from the team following the tragic death of his wife in February, so he can take care of his five children. Apparently his time with the Thunder is over.

On Tuesday night, Anthony Slater of The Oklahoman reported Williams "is not expected to return to the Thunder coaching staff."

Williams has previously been a head coach, with New Orleans, and he may seek out another job in the future.

According to Slater, Williams will help Team USA in the summer as they prepare for the Olympics in Brazil.
