Rudy Gobert says he has 'empathy' for Draymond Green ...
Green previously served a five-game suspension this season for putting Gobert in a chokehold
www.cbssports.comShort answer: There is no recent credible reporting about Draymond Green choking Rudy Gobert forming current news as of May 2026. The most publicly documented incident occurred in 2023, when Green was involved in a chokehold on Gobert during a Warriors-Telwolves game, which led to a suspension, but there have been no verified new developments since then.
Latest context (based on available public reporting up to 2024-2025):
- The 2023 incident: Green choked Gobert during a scuffle, leading to a suspension for Green and broad media coverage at the time. This remains the only widely reported on-court choking incident between Green and Gobert in recent years.[1][7][9]
- Gobert’s/Green’s ongoing exchanges: There has been ongoing public commentary and back-and-forth between the two, but no substantiated new choking event reported in credible outlets after 2023.[2][3][6]
