Nets fined $50K for Jay-Z's visit with Wildcats
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The NBA has fined the New Jersey Nets $50,000 because hip-hop mogul and part-owner Jay-Z went into the Kentucky locker room after the Wildcats clinched a berth in the Final Four.
League spokesman Tim Frank confirmed the fine Friday before the Nets played the New York Knicks at the Prudential Center.
Jay-Z was in the building, the Nets' home court, and visited the Kentucky players after their victory against North Carolina in the East Regional final on March 27.
