Brooklyn Nets fined $50,000 for letting Kyrie Irving enter locker room

The NBA fined the Brooklyn Nets $50,000 on Monday for allowing an unvaccinated player into the team’s locker room.

Kyrie Irving had only watched the team’s game against the New York Knicks on Sunday, but after the team’s 110-107 victory, he joined the team in the locker room to celebrate, a violation of New York City law and league health and safety protocols due to his status of being unvaccinated against COVID-19, according to the league.
