Lou Williams got permission to leave the bubble for a family emergency but when he was caught in a strip club down in Atlanta, the league was forced to respond. He is expected to spend the next ten days in quarantine and will miss at least two of the Clippers seeding games.
Clippers source said NBA is "looking into" Lou Williams excused absence for personal reasons after picture surfaced of him at Atlanta social club. Williams will enter quarantine protocol.

The fans and media members online criticized him for breaking bubble rules and it’s fair to say his decision hurt the team.
But, according to Williams, he wasn’t there for fun or for the women, but for the wings. On Twitter, the Magic City Strip Club confirmed it,.
Ok, yes, Lou Williams stopped by MCK to get wings…. NOW can we go arrest the cops who killed Breonna Taylor?

After deliberation, it was pretty much accepted that Williams was there for the wings, especially considering he has some named after him.
Clippers guard, Lou Williams was most definitely in Magic City for the wings.

So that pretty much confirms what Lou was doing. Yes, it may have been a risky decision, and he probably shouldn’t have gotten out of his car. But you can’t blame Williams for wanting some grub, especially in a place that has got wings named after him.
Hopefully, the Clippers will fare well in his absence.
