The news continues to get worse for Mark Sanchez.

Sanchez went from being charged with battery with injury, public intoxication, and unlawful entry of a vehicle following his arrest in Indianapolis on Saturday to charges being upgraded to a felony charge of battery involving serious bodily injury.

At the time, he went from all misdemeanors to a charge that could result in a potential sentence of up to six years in pris0n. Now, the years have gone up.

The Fox Sports analyst and former NFL quarterback was arrested at an area hospital where he was being treated for st/ab wounds, hours after an altercation with a 69-year-old truck driver.

In the documents, the truck driver said that he thought the former quarterback was “trying to kill him,” so he pepper-sprayed him before he would st/ab him, since the spray had little effect.

Mark Sanchez could now face 16 years in pris0n, according to prosecutors.

Prosecutors upgraded the charges against Sanchez on Monday, hitting him with a felony battery rap. He’s also charged with public intoxication and unlawful entry into a motor vehicle.

Prosecutor Ryan Mears revealed this week that he suggested Sanchez’s battery charge could be upgraded to a Level 3 felony.

Asked if Sanchez could face even more serious charges due to his behavior, Mears added: ‘Yeah, so one of the things in the state of Indiana is you can actually upgrade the battery charge from a Level 5 felony to a Level 3 felony if you have what is known as permanent or protracted loss,’ he told NewsNation.

‘You’re looking for a healthcare provider – a doctor, in particular – to be able to provide that diagnosis and say: what’s the long-term impact of these injuries and how is that going to impact the victim?

‘So those are our conversations we’ll have with the treating physicians – the doctors involved with this case – that’ll help us make that ultimate charging decision.’

President Donald Trump broke his silence on the situation this week, calling Sanchez, “a nice guy.”

He added that “something a little crazy” happened to the former Jets quarterback.

In the meantime, Sanchez is looking at a real possibility that he will lose his job because of this entire situation.

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.
