Glen Davis recently commented on his prison sentence in relation to the NBA health and welfare benefit plan fraud investigation. Davis served nearly two years in prison and faces three years of supervised release after being one of the individuals convicted in the case. During an appearance on the Locked In with Ian Bick podcast, Davis expressed frustration that other former players mentioned in the federal indictment avoided jail time. He specifically cited Kendrick Perkins and Tony Allen, noting that their legal outcomes differed from his own. Davis suggested the NBA allowed federal investigators to select specific targets from the larger group of 180 people subpoenaed. The former Boston Celtics player maintains that he was singled out to serve as an example while others involved in the case received different legal outcomes or probation.
