Lions fan’s family member is exposing him for his behavior towards DK Metcalf.

The DK Metcalf-Ryan Kennedy saga took another bizarre turn Friday. That Lions fan involved in an altercation with the Steelers receiver held a press conference. He wanted to deny using any offensive language or racial slurs.

The NFL suspended Metcalf for the Steelers’ final two regular-season games. His appeal was denied. He also cost himself as much as $45 million in guarantees as a result.

Metcalf reportedly told Chad Ochocinco that the fan used racial slurs against him and said something about his mom. “I got word — obviously. I’m not condoning putting your hands on a fan or punching a fan. But he did call him a racial slur,” Johnson said on ‘Night Cap.

More footage shows the fan yelling, “DeKaylin Zecharius Metcalf, which is his real name. That is when Metcalf comes over and assaults him.

Just when you thought the situation would die out, another wrinkle has been added. An alleged nephew of the Lions fan is making startling claims. He says his uncle has been trolling DK Metcalf for years and wanted to be attacked.

Lions Fan Involved With DK Metcalf is Not Out of The Woods Just Yet

The NFL and the Detroit Lions are continuing to investigate the situation involving a Lions fan and DK Metcalf.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the league is interested in pursuing the matter. That is because of what Metcalf told them during Tuesday’s appeal hearing for his two-game suspension. The investigation will focus on whether the fan violated the Lions’ guest code of conduct.

Metcalf told former NFL players James Harrison and Chad Johnson that Ryan Kennedy had used a racial slur. It is unknown what he told the league further.

Video after Sunday’s incident appeared to show Kennedy saying, “That was the goal, folks.” That seems to align with what his alleged nephew had to say about his behavior.

It appears the suspension and press conference might not be the end of the drama. A lawsuit could be coming.

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.
