Puka Nacua has entered rehab
Nacua's lawyer confirms his presence at a treatment center.
Rams receiver Puka Nacua has entered rehab. His lawyer, Levi McCathern, confirmed the development to Edward Lewis of the California Post . McCathern said the move wasn't a direct response to the lawsuit filed by a woman who claimed he bit her twice (and made an antisemitic remark) on New Year's Eve.
He claimed, however, to the Post that "the combination of stories y’all have run is certainly a contributing factor. " “He was in there a substantial period of time before any of these allegations broke . .
. and he’s scheduled to be there for a while longer," McCathern told Lewis. McCathern said the goal is "to improve his overall behavior in every aspect of his life that he can do it.
" Regarding the New Year's Eve incident, a video later surfaced showing Nacua asleep (possibly passed out) in a vehicle. Previously, a video emerged of a stumbling Nacua on Super Bowl Sunday. “I have talked to him,” McCathern told Lewis, regarding Nacua.
