It appears Russell Westbrook is ready to move on from the controversy in Salt Lake City earlier this week.

"If you want to talk about tonight's game, we can do it," Westbrook told the media after Wednesday's 108-96 win over the Brooklyn Nets, according to ESPN's Royce Young. "If not, enjoy your night."

The Oklahoma City Thunder star wouldn't get into the verbal altercation he had with a Utah Jazz supporter on Monday night, one which resulted in the fan, Shane Keisel, being permanently banned from attending any future events at Vivint Smart Home Arena.

Once the dust had settled, the league also fined Westbrook $25,000 for directing profanity at the fan.

"I'm extremely blessed man, humbled, to go out and hoop," Westbrook added when the subject of the Utah incident was broached again. "And that's that."
