Puka Nacua in Rehab to Improve Behavior, Says Lawyer

Puka Nacua will continue at a California rehab facility for a while longer, his attorney said, as the Rams star seeks to improve his overall behavior amid recent antisemitic incidents.

Puka Nacua is staying at a California rehab facility for an extended period, according to his attorney Levi McCathern, who said the player is working on improving his overall behavior in all aspects of life. The rehab stint began before the recent allegations surfaced and is not expected to keep him out of Rams OTAs.

The Rams star faced backlash after an antisemitic gesture on a December livestream and a lawsuit from a Los Angeles woman who alleged he made an antisemitic comment and bit her shoulder. Nacua has denied the allegations “in the strongest possible terms,” according to a statement shared with ABC.
