Puka Nacua in Rehab to Improve Behavior, Says Lawyer

Puka Nacua, the Los Angeles Rams tight end, will continue to attend a California rehab facility to work on his overall behavior, his lawyer said.

The Rams tight end has been in a California rehab facility for a substantial period before the recent antisemitic incidents, his attorney Levi McCathern said on Wednesday. He will remain there "a while longer" to improve his overall behavior in every aspect of his life.

Nacua faced criticism after an antisemitic gesture on a December livestream and a lawsuit from a Los Angeles woman who alleged an antisemitic comment and a shoulder bite. He denies the allegations "in the strongest possible terms," according to a statement shared with ABC.
