Stefon Diggs speaking to reporters

Stefon Diggs didn’t have much to say.

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs spoke to reporters on Friday after avoiding them on Wednesday.

Diggs is facing serious criminal charges. The Pro Bowler has been accused of striking and choking a woman who worked as his personal chef and lived at his house.

The 32-year-old has denied the allegations and did not speak to the media earlier in the week. He broke his silence on the charges on Friday, however.

Diggs began by apologizing for being unavailable on Wednesday, also noting that he would not be able to discuss the case but would be willing to answer any questions related to football.

“It’s definitely an open case, so I can’t even say anything about it,” he said.

Diggs is facing a felony criminal charge of strangulation or suffocation. He’s also been hit with a misdemeanor assault and battery charge. As mentioned above, the charges stem from an incident involving his personal chef.

The woman alleges that Diggs attacked her after she confronted him about unpaid wages.

The Patriots released a statement shortly after the news broke, showing their support for the wideout.

“Stefon has informed the organization that he categorically denies the allegations. We support Stefon. We will continue to gather information and will cooperate fully with the appropriate authorities and the NFL as necessary.”

“Out of respect for all parties involved, and given that this is an ongoing legal matter, we will have no further comment at this time,” they added.

The NFL also released a statement.

Diggs and teammate Christian Barmore, who has also been accused of assault ahead of the playoffs, are both still eligible to play.

“I’m getting ready for Miami and to play football,” Barmore told reporters after being asked how he was doing.

The Patriots will play the Miami Dolphins in the final game of the regular season, with the AFC’s top seed still a possibility based on other results.

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 rebounds6 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.
