Ex-NBAer Glen ‘Big Baby’ Davis gets 40 months in prison for health care scam
NY Post
Glen “Big Baby” Davis is going away for a while.
The former NBA player was sentenced in New York on Thursday to 40 months in prison for his involvement in an alleged $5 million scheme defrauding the league’s health and welfare benefit plan.
Davis was accused by prosecutors of making $27,000 in claims for a dental procedure in Beverly Hills even though he was traveling between Las Vegas and Paris on the day of the operation.
He is one of more than a dozen players who have been charged in the criminal conspiracy.
The players, who earned a combined $360 million during their NBA careers, are said to have submitted “false and fraudulent claims for reimbursement of expenses for medical and dental services that were not actually rendered,” according to a report from Manhattan federal prosecutors in October of 2021.
In August, former New Jersey Nets player Terrance Williams was sentenced to 10 years in prison after he admitted to orchestrating the scheme over a period from 2017-21.
