Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams isn't going to spend time defending himself amid discussion about his absence from the league's bubble in Orlando.

Leave it alone. Just enjoy the memes lol https://t.co/sGB9zIFIkt

Williams had an excused absence to leave his team but was photographed at Magic City gentlemen's club:

Sources told ESPN that Williams has been interviewed by NBA security about his whereabouts while he was away from campus, and told them he did go to the Magic City gentleman’s club for a short time on Thursday night

The league investigated the incident to determine whether he broke protocols, and he will now have to quarantine for 10 days and miss the team's first two seeding games, per Shams Charania of Stadium and The Athletic.

Unsurprisingly, there were plenty of jokes on social media at Williams' expense about visiting a strip club during the pandemic, regardless of his reason for being there. Instead of fighting it, the 33-year-old appears ready to just accept his fate.
