If there is one thing Golden State Warriors polarizing forward Draymond Green is not doing is dwelling on the past. That includes scuffles on the court. 

Green was hit with a five-game suspension for placing Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert in a chokehold on Nov. 14, and speaking with the media for the first time since the incident, he admitted he has not lost any sleep over the incident. 

"I don’t live my life with regrets," Green said, via ESPN. "I'll come to a teammate's defense any time that I'm in a position to come to a teammate's defense. ... What matters to me is how the people that I care about feel, first and foremost. How are the people that I care about affected? How are the people I care about, what do they have to deal with? That's it for me."

Green said he was coming to the defense of Klay Thompson, who was in the face of Jaden McDaniels, which started the whole altercation. The spat came less than two minutes into their game. 

While it looked like Gobert was trying to break up the two, wrapping his arms around Thompson to pull him off McDaniels, Green came flying in and put him in a chokehold. Both benches cleared at that point, with officials also trying to restore order on the court.
