This is certainly one of Ryan Clark’s more bizarre takes.

ESPN’s Ryan Clark has never been shy to offer controversial takes during his career as an analyst. But what he said about Micah Parsons’ unfortunate season-ending injury on Monday is truly something else.

In the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game between the Green Bay Packers and Denver Broncos, Micah Parsons suffered a serious-looking knee injury on a non-contact play. Unfortunately, the Packers received confirmation that it was a season-ending ACL tear for the All-Pro linebacker.

Speaking on “NFL Live” before the Pittsburgh Steelers-Miami Dolphins clash on ‘Monday Night Football’, Ryan Clark indicated that Nix was responsible for Parsons’ season-ending injury:

“Micah Parsons is hurt because of Bo Nix. I’m not saying it’s one of those things that’s Bo Nix’s fault, but the violence in which Micah Parsons had to chase Bo Nix the entire second half was extremely evident.”

Clark added that Parsons was the only Packers player consistently getting pressure on Denver’s second-year quarterback.

This wasn’t an injury caused by a vicious hit or cheap shot of any kind. A non-contact injury that results in something as serious as an ACL tear is merely a case of bad luck. It can happen to any player at any time. It’s just unfortunate that Parsons suffered it during a career year, with the playoffs right around the corner.

Micah Parsons’ Injury Greatly Derails Packers’ Super Bowl 60 Hopes

The Green Bay defense was very good last year, but it reached an elite level following the blockbuster trade for Parsons. He had 12.5 sacks in 14 games before his season-ending injury. Rashan Gary is second on the team with 7.5 sacks. Devonte Wyatt is third with four.

Green Bay still has enough star power to go on a deep playoff run, seeing how wide open the NFC is this year. But losing one of the NFL’s top-five defensive players nonetheless is a giant blow to Matt LaFleur’s group.

The Packers are among football’s most balanced teams this year, but they’ll need the likes of Jordan Love and Josh Jacobs to do the bulk of the heavy lifting the rest of the way.

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.
