"Liberty Fined $25,000 as Aces Celebrate Repeat Championship Victory"

The New York Liberty and three of their players, Sabrina Ionescu, Jonquel Jones, and Betnijah Laney, were fined by the WNBA for declining media interviews after their loss to the Las Vegas Aces in the league finals. The team was fined $25,000, while the players were fined $2,000 each. The Aces, however, were not fined. The incident occurred when several players crashed the postgame news conference, interrupting finals MVP A'ja Wilson's answer. Las Vegas won the game 70-69 to secure their second consecutive championship.
