Joe Harris scored 14 points and grabbed 15 rebounds in Brooklyn's Game two loss against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets guard-forward Joe Harris has left the NBA bubble near Orlando because of a personal, non-medical reason, according to a report from The Athletic on Wednesday evening.

Harris, 28, scored 14 points and grabbed 15 rebounds in Brooklyn's Game two loss against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. His absence leaves yet another scoring void for the Nets, which is already without Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Spencer Dinwiddie and DeAndre Jordan.

The Nets is down 2-0 to the Raptors in the best-of-seven series. At minimum, Harris will miss two games due to the safety and quarantine protocols at the bubble.
