I see two references in the book but am hard press to say either applies.

9-3 Art. 1 ... NOTE: The Dribbler has committed a violation if he/she steps on or outside a boundary, even though he/she in not touching the ball while he/she is out of bounds.

9-3 Art. 3 ... A player shall not leave the floor for an unauthorized reason.
No violation.

9-3-1 does not apply because it concerns a player who is out of bounds. In your situation, the player returns inbounds before touching the ball.

9-3-3 does not apply because the player left the floor to save the ball from going out of bounds. That's an authorized reason.
