Stefon Diggs’ playoff status gets a major update following assault and strangulation charges.

Stefon Diggs has been having a resurgent season with the Patriots after tearing his ACL last year. His dynamic season is in jeopardy now following strangulation and assault charges. He is facing a felony strangulation charge and a misdemeanor assault charge tied to an alleged December 2 incident. Diggs’ attorney, Michael DiStefano, has pushed for the police report to be impounded. Through DiStefano, Diggs also denied the allegations against him.

Diggs is suddenly at the center of a criminal case just as the Patriots push toward the postseason. For now, the Patriots are standing publicly behind their top wideout. However, his alleged behavior might have screwed their dream season.

On Wednesday, NFL insider Ian Rapoport updated the situation on the star wideout. Rapoport says Stefon Diggs may be placed on the commissioner’s exempt list. Should that happen, he could miss multiple football games. That includes Week 18 and into the postseason.

More details have emerged about Stefon Diggs and the strangulation allegations against him. In a police report obtained by NBC Boston, a woman claims that she was his personal chef. The unnamed woman says the wideout slapped and choked her following a salary dispute.

She went to the Dedham Police Department on Dec. 16. The unnamed woman alleged that Diggs “entered her unlocked bedroom.” It followed after the two had ongoing text messages over money that was owed to her. Amid the discussion, Diggs allegedly became angry and then “smacked her across the face.”

The woman said that she tried to push him away, but Diggs then allegedly “tried to choke her using the crook of his elbow around her neck.”

“At that point, the male threw her onto the bed. He said something to the effect of ‘Thought so.’ The woman said she was hesitant to come forward because of Stefon Diggs being in the NFL.

Diggs is scheduled to be arraigned on Jan. 23.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
