Brooklyn Nets sharpshooter Joe Harris is reported to have left the NBA’s bubble campus in Orlando with a non-medical personal matter. ESPN’s Tim Bontemps reports that Harris will be unavailable for the Nets in Games 3 and 4 of their playoff series with the Toronto Raptors due to COVID-19 protocol.
The Nets announce Joe Harris has left the bubble for a "non-medical personal matter." That would theoretically mean that, even if he returned tomorrow, he would be unavailable for both Games 3 and 4 of Brooklyn's series with Toronto.

Harris, a former three-point contest champion, has averaged 14.5 points and 4.3 rebounds on 42.2% three-point shooting this season. The Nets finished the season with a record of 35-37, the seventh-seeded team in the Eastern Conference. Brooklyn is currently down 2-0 to the Raptors in the first round of the playoffs.
Harris is the latest player to exit the bubble in Orlando, with New Orleans Pelicans rookie Zion Williamson as well as Los Angeles Clippers center Montrezl Harrell leaving Orlando for family medical emergencies.
