Kyrie Irving Fined $50,000 for Violating NBA's Health and Safety Protocols

Nets point guard Kyrie Irving has been fined $50,000 by the NBA for violating the league's health and safety protocols.

The fine comes after videos recently circulated on social media of a maskless Irving appearing to attend his sister's indoor birthday party. After the video surfaced online, the Nets said they were "reviewing the circumstances with both Kyrie and the NBA in order to determine compliance with health and safety protocols."

The NBA's health and safety protocols forbid players from attending social gatherings of more than 15 people.

According to the league, Irving will forfeit his salary for any games missed during his five-day quarantine period.
