Oklahoma City Thunder star Jalen Williams was levied a $25,000 fine from the NBA on Monday for wearing a shirt that said, "F--- art, let's dance," to his postgame press conference following the Thunder's Game 7 win over the Denver Nuggets on Sunday.

The NBA's official fine was for "wearing clothing with profane language" to the postgame media session.
