Former NBA Player Glen ‘Big Baby’ Davis Sentenced To 40 Months In Prison For Insurance Fraud Scheme

One retired NBA player is about to spend a little time behind bars.

Today Glen “Big Baby” Davis was sentenced to 40 months (3 years and 4 months) in prison for defrauding the NBA’s healthcare plan. As previously reported, in October 2021, Glen Davis, 38, was among 18 former professional basketball players arrested by federal authorities for their involvement in a health insurance fraud scheme. In November of last year, it was revealed that he was facing 20 years behind bars after being found guilty of health care fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to make false statements, and conspiracy to commit health care and wire fraud. Reportedly, in total, the men swindled more than $5 million before they were caught.

In comparison to the time he could have received, some might think Glen Davis’ sentence was a little light. According to one report noting his crimes,

“Davis submitted a total of $132,000 worth of claims, including saying he got $27,200 worth of dental work at Beverly Hills dental office on October 2, 2018. Authorities said he was actually in Las Vegas at the time and flew to Paris that same day, using the geolocation data for his cellphone to prove it.”

In addition to his time out at the big house, Davis was reportedly ordered to pay $80,000 in restitution and serve three years of supervised release.

Davis played in the NBA for three teams throughout eight seasons.
