Atlanta's Magic City club welcomes Lou Williams home after trade
Lou Williams won't have to travel far for his favorite lemon pepper wings now that he's back in his hometown of Atlanta.
Following Williams' trade to the Hawks on Thursday, Magic City - the Atlanta gentleman's club the guard notably visited during the NBA bubble in July to pick up chicken wings - tweeted a message welcoming him home.
😒 It took the Underground Goat breaking NBA records and scoring over 15,000 points in the league for the Hawks to realize what was good for them.

Buffalo Wild Wings tried to get in on the fun too, but Magic City wasn't having it.

Williams was ordered to complete a 10-day quarantine in his Orlando hotel room and forfeit $150,000 in salary after visiting Magic City amid an excused absence, which he acknowledged "wasn't the best-quality decision." He later tried to capitalize on the incident by filing a trademark application for the term "Lemon Pepper Lou."
