On April 18, Beijing time, the Brooklyn Nets lost to the Celtics 114-115. In this game, Irving gave a middle finger to the Celtics sideline audience after hitting a shot.
At that time, in the third quarter, when Irving hit a mid-range shot, he saw a fan taunt on the sidelines, so he directly responded with his middle finger.
However, NBA reporters soon pulled down their behavior and said that the behavior of players who give a middle finger to fans usually means a fine of $15,000.
You know, this isn't the first time Irving has been fined this season for a fan incident. In the middle of the season, Irving was fined $25,000 by the league for being rude to the sideline fans in a game away to the Cavaliers. Today, Irving's middle finger at Celtic fans is likely to be fined again.
In this game against his old club, Irving's performance was extremely good, he exploded for 39 points, and scored 18 points in the final quarter, and even helped the team to reverse the score at one point. Even manager Nash was full of praise, and Nash also said of Irving's hostile environment facing the Greenshirts home: "I don't know what atmosphere will make him uneasy. Boston fans won't be a factor for Irving, and this guy has done everything he can. ”
