Puka Nacua's Rehab Stint: A Path to Self-Improvement?

0:00On April 2nd, Los Angeles Rams-Wide receiver Puka Nakua faced accusations of biting a woman on New Year's Eve, which he first denied. Even after she dropped her restraining order, the 24-year-old star checked himself into a luxury rehab center in Malibu, California. His attorney, Levi McCatherne, confirmed that Kua has been at the facility for a substantial time already and plans to stay longer. While not directly tied to the biting claim, McCatherne said the swirl of media stories played a role in the timing. Fans and critics raised eyebrows over another incident, too, where Nakua appeared to make an anti-Semitic gesture during a live stream with popular. Streamers, that, combined with the allegation, painted a rough picture for the two-time pro-boulder early in the off-season. Nakua's lawyer stressed, this is about broader self-improvement, aiming to better himself as a person moving forward. No word yet on how it affects his football focus. With career highs, last season 129 catches leading the league, 1,715 yards, and 10 touchdowns.
