The NBA fined Kyrie Irving $25,000 for his profane outburst towards a 76ers fan on Friday night.
The Celtics guard was walking towards the locker room at halftime, with Boston trailing 50-46, when a Philadelphia fan yelled, "Kyrie, where's LeBron (James)?"
Irving shouted back, "Suck my d—!"
When talking to reporters after the game, Irving said he didn't feel bad about yelling at the fan, but was sorry others had to hear it.
"(The fan was) man enough to record it on video, then that's all him.I'm glad he got his (social media) name out there and then, kinda, 5 seconds of fame and it going viral — that's the social media platform we live on. I take full responsibility what I said and excuse (to) the kids at home and you move on."
The Celtics defeated the Sixers 102-92 , and Irving finished the game with 21 points, six rebounds, four assists and two steals.
