The 6’7” man from Tarboro, North Carolina, will not be thinking of basketball, at least for now.

When can the LA Clippers expect him back?

Harrell must be in no position to fly to Orlando at present. But even when he arrives in the Bubble, the rules will want him to spend a four-day quarantine. This will mean that, let us assume, if he arrives in the bubble on the 4th, he can’t play until the 8th.
