Did Lou Williams really party with Jack Harlow?

Lou Williams took to twitter to clarify rumors of him having partied with Jack Harlow in Atlanta city. He tweeted to his followers that he did not go out for a wild night of partying and that he was committed to the protocols set by the NBA for players leaving the Bubble.

He also tweeted out the real reason for him leaving the Bubble by announcing his grandfather’s demise with a tweet.

The 27-yr old will be rejoining the team soon. However, Lou Williams will have to be quarantined for a minimum of 10 days and must also have two negative coronavirus tests before he can rejoin his teammates on the basketball court.

As of now, it looks like he will miss the first game of the NBA restart against the Lakers.

On top of his game

The #23 point guard for the Clippers had an excellent start in the scrimmage. He led from the front as the Clippers beat Orlando Magic 99-90. He was on top of the scoring charts in the game, going away with 22 points from the game.

Williams also led the scoring for the team last season, while shooting 41.6 per cent from the floor, 36.3 per cent from beyond the arc and 86.3 per cent from the free-throw line.

Clippers Scrimmage on

This is the third loss the Clippers are dealing with since life started in the bubble. Williams’ sudden departure comes a week after Montrezl Harrell and Patrick Beverley were also permitted to depart the bubble for their personal reasons.  Both the above-mentioned players also left the bubble due to personal reasons.

However, life goes on for the Clippers as they face the Washington Wizards on 25th June 8PM E.T. Their final scrimmage will be against the Sacramento Kings on July 27th, Monday, 4 PM E.T
