Ex-NBA player Glen Davis sentenced to 40 months in prison over insurance fraud scheme

Former NBA player Glen Davis was sentenced to 40 months in prison for his role in defrauding the NBA Players’ Health and Benefit Welfare Plan, according to multiple reports Thursday. Davis will have three years of supervised release after serving his term and was also ordered to pay $80,000 in restitution, per the reports.

Davis and former NBA player William Bynum were convicted in November 2023 for their roles in the scheme. They were found guilty of conspiracy charges, and making claims of dental and medical procedures that never occurred.

In April, Bynum was sentenced to 18 months in prison and three years of supervised release, according to the Associated Press. He was also ordered to pay $182,224 in restitution, per the report.

Many of the more than 20 defendants convicted in the case were former NBA players, with the scheme netting the defendants more than $5 million in illicit profits, U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement at the time.

The case was made public in October 2021, when 18 former NBA players, including Davis and Bynum, were accused of stealing $2.5 million through fraudulent medical and dental claims. Prosecutors said the players submitted $4 million in phony claims and received $2.5 million from the league’s Health and Welfare Benefits Plan for chiropractic and dental services that were never rendered.

In August 2023, Terrence Williams — the ringleader of the scheme — was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Per prosecutors, Williams recruited other former NBA players to participate by offering them false invoices for procedures to submit for reimbursement. Players would then pay Williams a kickback out of the sum received for the fraudulent medical claim.

Davis, 38, played eight seasons in the NBA and won a championship with the Boston Celtics in 2008. His last season was in 2014-15 with the LA Clippers.

Sad. Very sad.

No pity here, he made his bed, now he can see what it feels like to live like a convict. Sorry, this guy has done enough to deserve whatever they gave him. He led a great life as a pro, made enough money that he could have walked away, got another job and survive comfortably. Instead he chose the easy way out or what he thought was the easy way out. I am glad he got caught

Who's your daddy gonna be now, Big Baby.

My sentiments exactly

Little did he realize that having KG make him cry was going to be nothing compared to what he may soon be facing.

Oh, he is out there saying he is going to spend his time in jail getting "ripped" and in great shape. Probably because they will starve him. Out there doing interviews about this like it is nothing
