Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua checked into a luxury treatment center in Malibu, Calif., in early March, Edward Lewis of the California Post reports. The center specializes in helping patients battling drug and alcohol addiction, chronic pain and mental health issues, Lewis writes. Nacua is “scheduled to be there for a while longer,” attorney Levi McCathern told Lewis. He is there to focus on “personal growth,” per TMZ.
A woman recently accused Nacua of biting her twice, making an antisemitic remark, and exhibiting “rude or vulgar, threatening, violent, and harassing conduct” on Dec. 31, 2025. However, Nacua had already been in the facility for “a substantial period of time before any of these allegations broke,” according to his attorney.
The alleged victim dropped a request for a temporary restraining order against Nacua, but she filed a lawsuit against him last week. Although McCathern has accused her of “continu(ing) to make up stories trying to turn this minor episode into big dollars,” the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office is investigating her claims, per Lewis.
With the Rams’ OTAs scheduled for May, Nacua will be back “in plenty of time,” McCathern revealed to TMZ. One of the NFL’s premier receivers over his three-year career, Nacua earned first-team All-Pro honors and his second Pro Bowl nod last season. The 24-year-old became eligible for a contract extension this offseason.
Oh
Drama, who can tell what the truth is. And he hasn’t even gotten PAID yet.
There is a high chance Puka’s behavior will get worse after getting paid more. $$$
But he is so lovable the media says.
As a GM, I’d worry giving him a long term contract for big bucks. He’s a walking time bomb.
Why do players try to speed run the end of their careers?
Hey connor, why no mention of his antisemitic TD celebration dance.
…and so it begins. The downfall
