The National Basketball Association fined Kyrie Irving and his team, the Brooklyn Nets, $25,000 each Thursday because the point guard has refused to speak to the media so far during the preseason.

The NBA said Irving has refused several times this week to take part in team media availability, which is being held via Zoom due to the pandemic.

Irving said in a statement last week to address his media silence, “My goal this season is to let my work on and off the court speak for itself. Life hit differently this year and it requires us, it requires me, to move differently.”
