The NBA fined Oklahoma City star Jalen Williams $25,000 on Monday for “wearing clothing with profane language” to his press conference after the Thunder’s Game 7 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Sunday.
The shirt Williams wore featured the phrase, “F–k art, let’s dance,” in red letters across the front.
Williams did not use profanity when speaking to reporters, but was tagged for his shirt all the same.
Williams, 24, has been a crucial piece of Oklahoma City’s run to the Western Conference Finals, the franchise’s first since 2016. In 11 playoff games, he has averaged 19.6 points, second only to MVP favorite Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s 29.0 ppg.
Williams is also averaging 5.4 rebounds and 5.7 assists in the playoffs. In Sunday’s 125-93 home win over Denver, he contributed 24 points, five rebounds and a game-high seven assists.
