Ex-National Basketball Association forward Glen “Big Baby” Davis was found guilty of scheming to swindle the league’s health-care plan out of $5 million, one of the most high-profile players to be convicted in a wide-ranging plot that involved a number of former top draft picks.
A jury found Davis, who won a title with the Boston Celtics in 2008, and former NBA player William Bynum, guilty of conspiracy charges Wednesday after a two-week trial. Prosecutors said they made false claims for medical and dental procedures that they never received. The two face as long as 20 years in prison on each count, though they’re likely to get much less time when sentenced.
