Former Boston Celtics forward Glen “Big Baby” Davis was sentenced to three years in prison after defrauding the NBA Players’ Health and Benefit Welfare Plan. However, a federal judge offered the 38-year-old some leeway.
Judge Valerie E. Caproni granted Davis a sentencing delay, which can be pushed back to Oct. 22, according to the Associated Press, while the 2008 NBA Finals champion works on completing a documentary project centered around his life. Davis previously had a sentencing deadline date scheduled for Sunday, but the troubled once-fan favorite, who played alongside Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen, remains on the hook for scamming the NBA out of over $5 million throughout the past few years.
Davis was initially ordered to repay $80,000 in restitution, charged alongside Terrence Williams — who last played for the Celtics for 13 games in 2013 — and over a dozen other ex-NBA players. Williams, 37, was identified as the ringleader of the multi-million-dollar scheme and received the harshest punishment of all those involved, a 10-year prison term while also ordered to pay $2.5 million in restitution.
“I feel like I’m going to have good quality time in there,” Davis told TMZ in July. “Learn things, meet new people. It’s going to be all right.”
The eight-year veteran is nine years removed from his final NBA appearance, capping off a career of stints spent with the Celtics, Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Clippers. Davis, although optimistic about what life behind bars will welcome the once-pro athlete who collected $34 million in career earnings from the NBA, is also optimistic about life outside the clink as well.
“Shout out to the ladies out there,” Davis ended the TMZ interview by saying. “Write me. I’ll be in there getting fine as hell. When I get out, call me Big Baby Jailbait!”
