Za’Darius Smith may not currently be on the Lions’ roster, but his heart—and maybe more—still seems tied to Detroit. The veteran defensive end was front and center at the Pistons-Bucks game Friday night, sitting courtside at Little Caesars Arena alongside Detroit rapper Kash Doll. The pair looked cozy, sparking plenty of speculation from fans online.
From “He’s definitely re-signing” to “Bring our boy home,” Lions fans flooded social media with hopes that Smith might be eyeing a return. And the rumors aren’t exactly out of left field. Smith was a key piece in Detroit’s defense after arriving via trade from Cleveland last season. He’s also fresh off a vacation to Ghana with Kash Doll, which he reportedly called “life changing.”
The off-field connection and continued presence in Detroit have fans wondering if this is more than just a celebrity courtside sighting. With the Lions bolstering their defense this offseason, could Smith be the next familiar face to rejoin the fold? The city’s watching—and so is the mascot he hugged last season.
