Things have taken an unexpected twist.

The incident involving a South Carolina football player and a game-day policeman has taken a shocking new turn.

Oscar Adaway, a Gamecocks running back who was approached in a somewhat unfriendly manner by the lawman during a loss to Texas A&M, is seeking an apology.

South Carolina lost 31-30 in that game, while Adaway had a literal brush with the law. Adaway and teammate Nyck Harbor received some hostile treatment on the day, resulting in the Texas State Trooper being sent home.

The incident drew reactions from figures such as LeBron James.

According to Postandcourier.com, the RB has filed a criminal complaint against the officer.

“Adaway retained counsel. The attorney, B. Keith Jackson, told The Washington Post that Adaway wants to press assault charges against the trooper. The Brazos County district attorney has heard the claim and is considering whether or not to move forward with charges,” the Courier reports.

The trooper’s name remains unknown. The Texas Department of Public Safety said it would investigate the incident. It has so far refused to disclose his identity.

Adaway, who called TAMU campus police to report the incident, wants the cop to apologize to him personally. Harbor, meanwhile, would not comment on whether the situation had been straightened out.

The former said the incident left him in need of help from a mental health expert. He also claimed to have lost sleep over it.

“You see this sort of thing on TV — different scenarios of police bullying people here and there — but you never feel it and understand it until you’re actually in the situation,” he told the Post.

 “We know the staff and gameday operations team at Texas A&M work extremely hard to provide a safe environment for student-athletes and fans,” USC athletics director Jeremiah Donati also said in a statement.

“We appreciate their communication and immediate action taken following the incident that took place.”

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.
