However, a now-deleted Instagram story by Jack Harlow showed Lou Williams partying at a strip club while away from the bubble. Lou Williams later tweeted about the incident, clarifying that no one was partying.

American Rapper and songwriter Jack Harlow shared an IG story where he was clubbing with Lou Williams, which he deleted quickly. He captioned the story 'a location that you would never guess'. Fans concluded that Williams was visiting the Atlantic Club Magic City, which is a famous strip club. Williams clarified that he was not out partying and challenge everyone to ask any of his teammates. He responded to a post about his grandfather Paul G Williams' demise, which is why he left before the NBA retart.

After returning to the bubble, Williams will have to quarantine for at least four days and test negative for the virus every day before being cleared to play with the team. Williams is the fifth player who has left the NBA campus and is expected to join soon.
Apart form Williams and Harrell, Ivica Zubac, Patrick Beverley and Landry Shamet are all away from the bubble.
