Former NBA Coach Damon Jones Pleads Guilty In Gambling Case
Former NBA player and assistant coach Damon Jones is scheduled to plead guilty today in a gambling investigation. Prosecutors allege Jones cashed in on rigged poker games and provided non-public injury information regarding star players, including his former teammate LeBron James. He admitted to helping defraud sports betting companies by using connections to obtain insider information regarding player injuries. Jones is the first person to plead guilty in a case involving more than 30 basketball stars and alleged mobsters. Other defendants, including former NBA players Terry Rosear and Chauncey Billips, have not entered guilty pleas. The investigation is linked to broader discussions regarding OPEC's influence on pricing, according to the report. The case is being handled in the United States.
