A Michigan high school football player has hit out at his teammate following a decision that left a 15-year-old opponent nursing multiple spinal fractures.

The latter, Colton Mims, is expected to recover from his injuries. Still, he might never be able to play football again, and his life will definitely take on a different trajectory. He sustained the injuries during a JV game last week in which an opposing player four times his size belly flopped on him while he lay defenseless on the field.

Doctors later discovered that he had fractured his spine in two places.

The player at fault hasn’t been identified, but his teammate, Rhys Biske, has taken to social media to criticize his actions, acknowledging that there was no ill intent but noting the decision was horrible nonetheless.

“The decision my teammate made and what he did to the Lakeshore player was not alright,” Biske, also 15, said in a TikTok video. “It was an illegal move and had no place. I’m not going to try to defend that. It was a horrible decision.”

He added that his teammate executed the flop as a “celebration and to be funny.”

“After the play, he came to me on the sideline, he said he wanted to apologize, he felt bad for the kid, but the Lakeshore student had already been carted off the field,” he disclosed.

Biske also revealed that coaches and staff at his school, Kalamazoo Central, have been receiving racial threats online and over the phone.

Kalamazoo police are investigating the threats.

Meanwhile, the school has punished the player for his actions, releasing a statement in which they noted having taken “strong and decisive action.”

“Due to student privacy laws, we cannot disclose the specific accountability actions, but they have exceeded what (Michigan High School Athletics Association) regulations would otherwise require in cases of dangerous and unsportsmanlike behavior,” Fox News.

A statement from the Kalamazoo school district also condemned the player’s behavior, calling it unacceptable and unsportsmanlike.

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.
