Former NBA player Glen Davis has been handed a 40-month prison sentence for his involvement in defrauding the NBA Players’ Health and Benefit Welfare Plan, as reported on Thursday.

Following his term, he faces three years of supervised release and must pay $80,000 in restitution.

Davis, along with former NBA player William Bynum, faced conviction in November 2023 for their participation in the fraudulent activity. They were found guilty of conspiracy charges and filing false claims for dental and medical procedures that were never conducted.

In a separate ruling in April, Bynum received an 18-month prison sentence and three years of supervised release, alongside an order to pay $182,224 in restitution.

U.S. Attorney Damian Williams revealed that many of the over 20 convicted defendants were former NBA players. The scheme generated over $5 million in illegal profits, Williams stated in a previous announcement.

The case came to light in October 2021 when 18 former NBA players, including Davis and Bynum, were accused of embezzling $2.5 million via deceitful medical and dental claims.

Prosecutors revealed that the players filed $4 million in fake claims, securing $2.5 million from the league’s Health and Welfare Benefits Plan for chiropractic and dental services never provided.

In August 2023, Terrence Williams, the mastermind behind the operation, received a 10-year prison sentence.

According to prosecutors, Williams enlisted other ex-NBA players by furnishing them with fictitious invoices for procedures to submit for reimbursement. These players then paid Williams a kickback from the funds received for the fraudulent medical claim.

Davis, aged 38, enjoyed an eight-season stint in the NBA and clinched an NBA championship with the Boston Celtics in 2008. His final season was with the LA Clippers in 2014-15.
