US EditionRams WR Puka Nacua Went to Rehab Before Being Sued for Assault and Battery by a Woman, Attorney Says
Attorney Levi McCathern said Nacua entered a luxury treatment center and will stay for a while longer as the Rams monitor his off-field conduct.
- On Wednesday, Los Angeles Rams receiver Puka Nacua voluntarily checked into a private Malibu rehabilitation facility, his attorney Levi McCathern confirmed, focusing on health and personal growth ahead of the upcoming season.
- This move follows a civil lawsuit filed last month by Madison Atiabi, alleging Nacua made an "unprovoked antisemitic statement" on New Year's Eve and bit her shoulder; McCathern denies the allegations "in the strongest possible terms."
- Coach Sean McVay said on Monday that the Rams are gathering facts regarding the incident, stating "I trust this kid's heart" and expressing hope the situation allows Nacua to "learn and grow."
- General manager Les Snead and Rams COO Tony Pastoors noted that on-field performance is not the only factor when considering contract extensions, for which Nacua is eligible for a deal potentially surpassing the $120 million guaranteed to Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
- McCathern stated Nacua plans to complete the program in time to participate in upcoming Organized Team Activities, though the Rams are scheduled to begin those offseason workouts on April 20 with no public timetable for his departure.
