A headstrong Duke basketball product is making every effort to avoid media.
On Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported via tweet that former Duke basketball one-and-done and current Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving cost himself and his franchise a $25K fine apiece from the NBA. The league provided the following statement as an explanation:
“The fines result from Irving’s refusal on several occasions this week to participate in team media availability.”
