Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving has been fined $50,000 for violating the league's health and safety protocols and ordered to take part in a five-day quarantine, NBA president of league operations Byron Spruell announced Friday.
According to a release from the NBA, Irving violated the protocols by attending a private indoor party last weekend. The release noted league rules against "attending indoor social gatherings of 15 or more people or entering bars, lounges, clubs or similar establishments."
Irving would be allowed to return to team activities Saturday if he continues to test negative for COVID-19.
