PHOENIX (AP) — Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green has been fined $25,000 for using profanity during a teammate’s postgame interview following Monday night’s game against the Washington Wizards.

The NBA announced the fine Tuesday.

Green was celebrating with guard Collin Gillespie — who scored 25 points on 10 of 14 shooting in a 115-101 victory — when he interrupted Gillespie’s on-court interview.

Green did not play Monday. He has played just two games this season while dealing with a hamstring injury.
