About this episode

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is voluntarily checking into a luxury rehab center in Malibu, aiming to improve his behavior ahead of a big contract year.

The rehab center, which treats addiction and mental health issues, has been a part of Nacuas routine for months.

On April 2nd, Los Angeles Rams, wide receiver Puka Nakwa, is checking into a luxury rehab center in Malibu to work on his overall behavior. His attorney, Levi McCaffron, says, this started well before the New Year's Eve biting allegations from Madison Atiabi, and it's not just a reaction to her lawsuit. Naku was aiming to level up every part of his life ahead of a big contract year. The drama kicked off when Atiabi accused Nakwa of biting her shoulder during a night out, causing real pain and marks. She filed for a restraining order, then dropped it to focus on the lawsuit. McCaffron calls it neutral horseplay, denying any wild claims like anti-Semitic remarks. Fans and folks are watching close since Nakuwa crushed it in the 2025 season and could snag a deal worth 42,500,000 to $45 million a year. He's had some past run-ins with paparazzi spotting him stumbling drunk, but his coach Sean McVeigh has his back, saying he trusts the guy fully.

McCaffron shared fresh details this week, noting Nakuwa has been visiting the center for months, even hugging a visitor in baggy clothes. The place treats everything from addiction to mental health, though his team hasn't specified. Importantly, Nakuwa's in great spirits and sounding motivated. As he keeps grinding through this off-season rehab, all eyes are on how it shapes his image and that upcoming RAM season could be the move that keeps. His star rising clean.
