For his involvement in scamming the NBA's health care, former big man Glen Davis was sentenced on May 9 to 40 months in prison. Davis was one of 18 former NBA players charged with multiple fraud charges and conspiring to make false statements back in October 2021. He was convicted in November 2023 on four counts of defrauding the league.

After the reports of Davis' looming jail time, the former Boston Celtics big man went live on his Instagram account.

​

"Damn. I got a cold imagination though, I do that actor sh**," Davis said. "I'mma have to choke the chicken in the bathroom. That's crazy. I'mma be swole though. I swear to God, I'mma be in so much shape.

Davis kept it cool as he even had jokes even after it was confirmed he would be in prison.

​

"That’s the only way you can stop me from eating hamburgers is to put me in jail."

Aside from Davis, other notable former players received lengthy prison sentences. Terrence Williams, the reported ring leader of the operation, was sentenced to 10 years. Keyon Dooling and Alan Anderson were also sentenced to 30 and 24 months of jail time, respectively.
