Mark Sanchez might be a free man, but he is still not okay after being st@bbed after he allegedly assaulted an elderly truck driver in an altercation in Indianapolis.

Sanchez was st@bbed on October 4th after he allegedly attacked Perry Tole, a 69-year-old driver working to collect used cooking oil out of The Westin Indianapolis hotel. Released footage later showed the analyst walking on the sidewalk, clutching that area following a confrontation with Perry Tole.

Sanchez was arrested while in the hospital on allegations of battery with injury, unlawful entry of a motor vehicle, and public intoxication, all misdemeanors.

The lawyers handling the Sanchez criminal case made a brief appearance in court on Wednesday in Indianapolis and revealed that he is “still recovering” from being st@bbed.

Sanchez, a former Jets QB and Fox Sports analyst, was not required to appear for the short hearing.

The legal team said that his injuries “could impact” future legal dates, per TMZ.

Mark Sanchez’s final pretrial conference will be scheduled for December 2, just days before his jury trial on December 11. According to his legal team, discovery in the case should be “coming soon. “

In early October, Sanchez was charged with:

One count of battery resulting in serious bodily injury, a Level 5 felony
Misdemeanor count of battery resulting in bodily injury
Misdemeanor count of unauthorized entry of a motor vehicle
Misdemeanor count of public intoxication when the defendant endangers the life of another

He would eventually be charged with Level 5 felony battery.

A Level 5 felony battery charge can carry a one-to-six-year sentence and a $10,000 fine. Sanchez has since been sued and is facing a real possibility of losing his broadcasting job.

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.
