The Oklahoman reported earlier Wednesday that Mrs. Williams, 44, was being “treated for life-threatening injuries” for a crash that occurred on Tuesday. Another woman involved in the accident was also killed, along with her dog. The crash occurred on South Western Avenue and is described as a head-on collision.

Monty Williams is in his first season as an assistant for the Thunder and head coach Billy Donovan. Previously, Williams spent the last five years as the head coach of the New Orleans Pelicans and amassed a record of 173-221.

Obviously, our hearts and prayers go out to the Williams family during this unimaginably difficult time.
