Former NBA player Glen 'Big Baby' Davis sentenced to 40 months in insurance fraud scheme
View Date:2024-12-23 19:56:12
Former NBA player Glen "Big Baby" Davis was sentenced to 40 months in prison on Thursday for defrauding the league's healthcare plan.
The 38-year-old Davis was also sentenced to three years of supervised release.
In November, Davis was found guilty of health care fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to make false statements and conspiracy to commit health care and wire fraud and faced 20 years in prison.
Federal authorities said that Davis and others defrauded an insurance plan for NBA players and family members of more than $5 million in a scheme that lasted at least four years. The players would make false claims for dental services and various medical care, but those services were never provided.
Davis submitted a total of $132,000 worth of claims, including saying he got $27,200 worth of dental work at Beverly Hills dental office on October 2, 2018. Authorities said he was actually in Las Vegas at the time and flew to Paris that same day, using the geolocation data for his cellphone to prove it.
Davis was one of more than 20 people convicted in the case, including ringleader and former NBA player Terrence Williams, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Another NBA player, Will Bynum, received an 18-month prison sentence last month for making false statements to the NBA Players’ Health And Welfare Benefit Plan and was ordered to pay nearly $183,000 in restitution.
Davis spent eight seasons in the NBA, playing for the Boston Celtics, Orlando Magic, and the Los Angeles Clippers, and was a member of the 2008 championship team for the Celtics.
