Overview
- A court filing says former NBA player and coach Damon Jones plans to plead guilty to charges he shared nonpublic injury information with sports bettors.
- The planned plea would be the first admission of guilt in the federal case.
- Prosecutors cite a Feb. 9, 2023 tip that LeBron James would miss a Lakers game, after which he was ruled out and the team lost 115-106 to Milwaukee.
- They also detail a Jan. 15, 2024 tip about Anthony Davis’ minutes that led bettor Marves Fairley to place a $100,000 wager on Oklahoma City that failed.
- Co-defendant Terry Rozier has pleaded not guilty and seeks dismissal, with a hearing scheduled later this month.
