Kyrie Irving didn’t regret getting into a verbal altercation with a Sixers fan during Boston’s 102-92 win on Friday night, but he might not be happy with how the spat will impact his bank account. Irving told a Philadelphia fan to “suck my d*ck” after the fan screamed “Kyrie, where’s LeBron?” at him.

According to a statement released by the NBA, Irving has been fined $25,000 for the incident. Seeing as how Irving makes a hair under $19 million a year, this is more of a minor inconvenience than a massive investment. But still, handing over a check that amounts to a nice Honda Civic probably isn’t how Irving wanted to spend his Sunday afternoon.

The fine was announced by the league’s Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations, Kiki VanDeWeghe.

The lesson here, unsurprisingly, is that if you’re going to get into it with a fan, don’t scream something inappropriate with them because you’ll probably get fined. This is especially the case if the fan in question — or at least someone in the general vicinity of the fan who is trying to get under your skin — is recording the incident. But still, the best course of action is to avoid the situation and don’t tell fans who heckle you to to “suck my d*ck.”
