A federal judge has sentenced Glen Davis to 40 months in prison and three years of probation for fraud in the NBA Health and Welfare Benefits Plan, as reported this Thursday by ESPN. Big Baby was arrested along with 17 other former players, including two former ACBs (Antoine Wright and Alan Anderson), in October 2021 for submitting false medical claims. He was already convicted for this case in 2023.
Davis was an NBA champion in 2008 with the Boston Celtics of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo. The Massachusetts franchise got that ring, the last to date, after beating Pau Gasol’s Los Angeles Lakers 4-2 in the Finals, which is making its debut in the fight for the title months after being transferred from the Memphis Grizzlies. The following year, the Spaniard would inaugurate his record against Orlando Magic and in 2010 he would take revenge on the Celtics with his second and last championship 4-3.
The former center will have to pay a fine of $80,000. The conditions of his supervised release are based on attending financial management classes and mandatory drug treatment. It is not Davis’s first run-in with the law: in February 2019, he paid a fine of $15,000 to avoid prison after being arrested a year earlier in a Maryland hotel with marijuana (126 grams) and a briefcase with $92,000.
Davis spent eight seasons in the NBA and went through three franchises (the aforementioned Celtics, Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Clippers) before leaving the North American League in 2015. Three years later he tried to return to basketball, in Croatia, but his adventure did not last. a match. He spent five days in Zadar. The Balkan team accused Davis of asking for more money than agreed. The player acknowledged that request, but also accused his coach, Ales Pipan, of bad practices.
