The NBA fined basketball player Kyrie Irving $50 on Friday for violating health and safety protocols. The NBA also announced that he could return to action with the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday.
The league also added that he will be fined for each game he missed during the five-day quarantine period that could end on Saturday if he tests negative for the coronavirus.
Irving missed the last five games for the Nets due to personal reasons.
He was seen in a video on social media at the time he went missing, when he was attending an indoor family party, and was not wearing a mask.
League protocol prohibits participation in closed spaces where there are 15 or more people in bars, clubs or similar settings.

Irving is the second basketball player to be punished for this. The other basketball player is his teammate, James Harden.
In December, Irving was fined $25 by the NBA after he did not speak to the media during preseason training.
