Suns Guard Jalen Green Fined $25,000 for Profanity During Live Postgame Interview
The NBA has fined Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green $25,000 for using profanity while interrupting a teammate's live postgame interview. The incident occurred after the Suns' 115-101 win over the Washington Wizards when Green and other teammates interrupted Collin Gillespie's on-court interview. The profanity was picked up by the broadcast microphone during the celebration.
Gillespie, who scored 25 points in the victory, reacted with surprise, noting the moment was on live TV. The Suns have won five of their last six games. Green did not play in the game due to a hamstring injury and has appeared in only two games this season. James Jones, the NBA Executive VP and Head of Basketball Operations, announced the fine, citing the inappropriate language used during the live broadcast.
