The NBA fined the Nets organization $50,000 for “violating New York City law and league health and safety protocols” during the team’s home game against the Knicks on Sunday, the league announced on Monday.
According to an official release from the NBA, the violation occurred when Irving, who was in attendance for the game, entered Brooklyn’s locker room. The 29-year-old point guard is permitted to be in Barclays Center but is still not allowed to go into the Nets’ “workplace environment” because of New York City’s private sector vaccine mandate.
Irving was in Barclays Center as a spectator during the Nets’ 110–107 win over the Knicks on Sunday.
