Eighteen former NBA players have been indicted and charged with defrauding the league's health and benefits plan of nearly $4 million, federal prosecutors announced Thursday.
The scheme lasted from about 2017 through 2020 when the former players allegedly submitted false and fraudulent claims for reimbursement for medical and dental services that were never rendered, according to the indictment.
Audrey Strauss, the U.S. Attorney of the Southern District of New York, plans to detail the indictments in a news conference this afternoon.
