9-3-3: A player shall not leave the floor for an unauthorized reason.
Actually, like most violations, advantage gained is not a written part of the rule, although it may be a consideration in some officials enforcement of the rule. By rule, if team A sets a double screen near the sideline, and A1 runs out of bounds around the screen, a violation is called as soon as A1 steps out of bounds, whether an advantage is gained or not.
