On Tuesday night, Jalen Williams and the Oklahoma City Thunder will play the Minnesota Timberwolves for Game 1 of the Western Conference finals (at home).

Before the game, the NBA announced that Williams had been fined $25,000 by the league.

Via NBA Communications: "Oklahoma City Thunder guard-forward Jalen Williams has been fined $25,000 for wearing clothing with profane language in his postgame media session, it was announced today by Byron Spruell, President League Operations."

Many fans commented on the announcement from the NBA.

@g0nZ0__00: "NBA fining him exposed it to more people than he did during the interview. So are you going to fine yourself?"

@lifeofdabul: "Still no mvp announcement"

@ajb2k: "How about you guys release when the MVP will be announced?"
