Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has checked into a holistic care facility in Malibu. Seeking to focus on "personal growth," the NFL standout entered the center in early March to prepare himself mentally and physically for the upcoming football season.
According to Nacua's attorney, Levi McCathern, the player is utilizing his time at the state-of-the-art center to achieve peak personal and professional condition. McCathern confirmed that Nacua is scheduled to complete his stay well before the Rams' Organized Team Activities (OTAs) kick off in May. The lawyer also noted that Nacua is deeply appreciative of the ongoing support from his family, friends, teammates, and head coach Sean McVay.
Notably, McCathern emphasized that the voluntary rehab stint is entirely unrelated to a recent lawsuit filed against the football star. Last week, a woman named Madison Atiabi filed a suit alleging that an intoxicated Nacua bit her and made an antisemitic remark during a New Year's Eve gathering.
Representatives for Nacua have vehemently denied the accusations of antisemitism, though they previously acknowledged that he bit Atiabi in what they described as a "playful manner." While Atiabi initially sought a temporary restraining order last month regarding the holiday incident, she has since voluntarily withdrawn the petition.
