The NBA fined the New York Knicks $50,000 on Monday for violating the league's rules regarding equal access for media by not giving the New York Daily News access to their post-draft news conference on Friday.
The rest of the New York media was invited to the news conference to introduce draft picks RJ Barrett and Ignas Brazdekis.
