Kyrie Irving and his team, the Brooklyn Nets, were each fined $35,000 by the NBA Wednesday for Irving’s refusal to talk to the media in violation of the league’s media access rules.

The NBA said, “The fines result from Irving’s repeated refusal to participate in postgame media availability.”

This is the second time this season Irving and the Nets have been fined for the same reason, with both fined $25,000 in December.
