Los Angeles Clippers’ sixth-man of the year candidate Lou Williams left the NBA’s bubble earlier this week to attend to a personal issue, but his activities outside of quarantine have led the NBA to impose a 10-day quarantine, which will force Williams to miss at least two regular-season games.
Williams left the NBA’s bubble in Orlando to attend a funeral, but was expected to return and not miss any significant time for the Clippers. The situation changed, however, when rapper Jack Harlow posted a photo with Williams to his Instagram. According to The Athletic, Williams and Harlow visited Magic City in Atlanta – a strip club that also has a restaurant – to get food.

Once the photo went viral, Williams defended himself on Twitter, making the case that he only went there to pick up food.

After the NBA investigated Williams’ whereabouts during his time outside the bubble, it has determined that Williams will need to quarantine for 10 days, which will force him to miss games against the Lakers and Pelicans.
