Puka Nacua had some fun with the Giannis Antetokounmpo situation after the NBA trade deadline passed Thursday. During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, the Los Angeles Rams wide receiver joked that the Milwaukee Bucks star and Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett are similar because it's never fully clear if they want to be traded or remain with their current teams. "It's like, 'Oh, I don't want to be here,'" Nacua said. "And then, 'Hey, look, I'm back guys.'"
Two men, including the brother of Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua, were arrested over the weekend after allegedly taking Los Angeles Lakers forward Adou Thiero’s SUV without his consent, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Deputies were called to the One Hotel in West Hollywood after the vehicle was tracked to the hotel, LASD exclusively told NBC4 Investigates. There, the suspects had valeted the car and entered the hotel.
While reviewing security footage, deputies were able to identify the suspects and found them soon after. They then arrested them on suspicion of taking the SUV. It’s unclear where or when the SUV was stolen, according to law enforcement. The suspects arrested in the case were identified as 27-year-old Trey Rose and 27-year-old Samson Nacua, who is the brother of the Los Angeles Rams' Puka Nacua. Both men face a charge of taking a vehicle without the owner’s consent and remain behind bars.
Ramona Shelburne: Some of the things early on — like, he invited guys to his suite at the Rams game, and he threw a Halloween party, and then... no one came. After that, they get worked the first night in Utah, which makes this even sadder. Like, seriously — a Halloween party, and maybe three players showed up. I think Brad came, and Zubac. Chris is trying to be like, “I’m going to help you build some culture. I’ll bring guys over to my house. Let’s work out together. Let’s have a Halloween party. He and his wife threw the party in the suite after the Halloween game — and again, only three players came. So you’re looking at this and thinking: he’s trying to fill the leadership void the way he knows how, and every time he did, they would kind of recoil. Like, “Eh, it’s too much.”

The package with the Clippers -- which the team negotiated in-house with the Rwanda Development Board’s commercial advisor Ellvee--places the Visit Rwanda logo on all game and practice jerseys, in addition to a tourism package similar to the Rams’ deal. As part of a mission to promote basketball worldwide, the Clippers and Visit Rwanda will launch community initiatives in Rwanda and L.A. such as court renovations and coaching clinics.
Law Murray: LA Clippers announce that Visit Rwanda is new jersey patch sponsor for Clippers, part of a round of sponsorship agreements for Visit Rwanda that also includes Los Angeles Rams (not related to Kawhi Leonard's visit to Rwanda)
Stu Jackson: Lakers coach JJ Redick was in attendance watching the Rams' OTA workout today. He also spoke to Rams players today. Sean McVay said he first connected with Redick prior to him taking the Lakers job. "Always respected him from afar. A well-thought-out guy, a great willingness to look inwardly (for) areas of improvement, understanding how you bring people together. Really enjoyed him coming out."
When the former 15-year NBA veteran was hired by L.A., opinions formed early regarding potential success in his first season. No one could envision what had transpired, but Redick exceeded expectations, leading to comparisons to Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay, who also came to L.A. as a young, innovative mind. Naturally, comparisons are being made of Redick to McVay and the Lakers coach talked about their relationship thus far, revealing they had conversations before the former got into coaching. “First of all comparisons is the thief of joy and I love Sean,” Redick said.

With the Clippers opening up at Intuit dome next month, Davis is excited that the move could help re-shape the narrative that LA is simply a Lakers town. “They have an opportunity to better their brand now that they’re going into the Intuit Dome and really establish themselves,” he said. But, as far as now? They are always going to be number two. It goes: Dodgers, Lakers, Kings, Rams… you know? So it’s a lot of competition but as far as basketball, the Lakers are synonymous with L.A.”
