JAKARTA - The NBA fined Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving of US $ 50,000 for being caught attending an indoor party without wearing a mask.
Irving is now under investigation after being caught on video on social media of attending a birthday party without a mask.
In the NBA protocol to fight the corona virus, every basketball player is prohibited from attending meetings in one room with more than 15 people.
Irving has not played since January 5 and the Nets said it was for "personal reasons".
However, he soon returned to his team activities on Saturday after serving a five-day quarantine on the condition that he tested negative for the virus, the NBA said in a statement.
Apart from paying the fine, Irving will also lose his salary during the quarantine period.
Irving is an important part of the Brooklyn team which is currently ambitious to win the title for this season.
The Nets have brought in Houston Rockets star James Harden this week to strengthen their line-up alongside Irving and Kevin Durant, who are returning to play this season after being sidelined with a year-long injury recovery.
The Nets are sixth in the Eastern Conference standings, with seven wins and six defeats.
