Jalen Green‘s unfiltered approach to hyping up his teammate during a postgame interview just set him back a chunk of change … ’cause the NBA just fined him $25k for dropping an F-bomb on TV.

ICYMI, Green crashed Collin Gillespie‘s Q&A on Monday after scoring 25 points in the Phoenix Suns’ 115-101 win over the Washington Wizards at the Capital One Arena.

Green — sidelined with a hamstring injury — was clearly proud of his guy … and apparently couldn’t hold back his expletive-filled excitement.

Well, the NBA heard it too — and James Jones, the Executive Vice President and Head of Basketball Operations, announced on Tuesday that Green will be fined $25K for “using profanity when interrupting a teammate’s live television interview.”

The Suns have a lot to be happy about, though. They’re riding a four-game winning streak, including a victory over the Lakers, and are currently 7th in the West.

And, they’re doing it without Bradley Beal — who is out for the season due to a fractured left hip — and even after trading away NBA superstar Kevin Durant.

LeBron James just made his 41st trip around the sun … and the Los Angeles Lakers shared how they celebrated the four-time NBA champion at practice … with rookie Adou Thiero leading the team in singing “Happy Birthday!”

L.A. shared its post-workout festivities on Tuesday, showing off a cake with the King James logo and a crown on top. But before the team could dive in, Thiero had to serenade the future Hall of Famer.

While the voice probably wouldn’t get him far on “American Idol” … the rook didn’t sound too bad. Especially considering he was put on the spot, it gets an A+ for effort in our books!!

He’ll spend his big day at Crypto.com Arena in a big-time showdown against the Detroit Pistons … who come in to town to take on the Lakers, and are hoping to make it back-to-back wins.

Jill Biden‘s first husband, Bill Stevenson, called cops about a domestic dispute at his Delaware home and was there when authorities pronounced his wife dead … TMZ has learned.
