Big Baby has hopefully matured a bit after a stint in prison.
Glen Davis, who played for three NBA teams during eight seasons in the league, was released this week from a 17-month to 40-month prison term for his part in defrauding the league’s health insurance, along with several other former players.
“They tried to stop me. You know what I mean?” declared the 40-year-old Davis, a member of the Celtics’ 2008 championship team, in a video on X earlier this week. “But I’m back, man. I’m back, baby.”
Davis, 40, was among about two dozen former players, including former Lakers player Andrew Bynum, and doctors convicted by a Manhattan court in November 2023 of defrauding the NBA Players’ Health and Benefit Welfare Plan of more than $5 million over four years for filing false medical and dental claims.
The start of his sentence was initially delayed for several months so he could complete a documentary he was working on to help pay for some of the $80,000 in fines and restitution related to this case.
Davis still faces a three-year prison sentence and three years of probation as part of his parole
“He used his time productively while serving his sentence and attended many programs during that time,” attorney Brendan White told The Athletic.
“He is ready to become a productive member of society again.”
