Former NBA players Glen “Big Baby” Davis and Will Bynum were convicted by a Manhattan jury Wednesday on conspiracy charges related to a scheme to defraud the NBA’s
healthcare plan out of millions of dollars, according to multiple reports, one that has so far resulted in charges against 18 ex-NBA players and prison sentences for three.
Davis, who last played in the NBA during the 2014-15 season as a Los Angeles Clipper, was found guilty of health care fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to make false statements, and conspiracy to commit health care and wire fraud.
Bynum, who spent most of his NBA career with the Detroit Pistons, was found guilty of conspiracy to submit false statements to a health care plan, Bloomberg reported, citing a spokesperson for the Manhattan U.S. attorney.
Prosecutors said Davis and Bynum made bogus claims for medical and dental procedures they never received, Bloomberg added, noting both face a maximum of up to 20 years in prison on each of their counts, though will likely be sentenced to less time.
In being convicted, Davis and Bynum join three players who pleaded guilty in the healthcare fraud case—Sebastian Telfair, Darius Miles and Terrence Williams, the latter of whom was sentenced to 10 years in prison in August.
