Lou Williams says he played drunk once while with the Clippers

He said he confessed to then-Clippers coach Doc Rivers about his dilemma. “So I walk up to Doc Rivers, I say, ‘Doc I’mma tell you the truth.’ Me and Doc had this kind of relationship. I said, ‘Doc, I’mma tell you the truth I’m drunk as f—. I’m f—— up. I went too far. I’m sorry. I don’t think I can do this,’” he said. Williams thought he would sit out the game, but Rivers decided to play him. “‘You’re playing the whole second quarter, because I need you to sweat that s— out. Because I’m going to need you in the fourth quarter’.” Williams recalled Rivers saying.
