Guard Dennis Schroder may not be with the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA bubble, but the team had his presence against the Washington Wizards on Sunday.
Schroder was one of the virtual fans during the game, the Fox Sports Oklahoma broadcast showed.
He watched as the Thunder took a big halftime lead and went into the fourth quarter up 90-75.
The guard left the bubble Monday for the birth of his daughter and remains with family.
He missed three games leading up to Sunday. During those games the Thunder beat the Los Angeles Lakers, lost to the Denver Nuggets in overtime and had a bad loss to the Memphis Grizzlies.

On Sunday against Washington, Oklahoma City has had little trouble. Schroder may not be on the court, but they’re scoring like they feel his presence.
Schroder isn’t the only NBA player or celebrity to appear on the screen. Dirk Nowitzki, Chris Bosh and Shaquille O’Neal have all been spotted on the screen games, and Lil Wayne showed up to watch the Thunder play against the Lakers.
