Sebastian Telfair Leaves Federal Custody, Sets Big3 Return Plans

His release follows an August revocation of supervised release tied to the NBA health‑plan fraud case.

Overview

  • The 40-year-old was released earlier this week after serving several months at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey.
  • A judge ordered him to federal custody in August for violating supervised-release terms stemming from the 2021 case alleging a roughly $4 million scheme involving 18 former NBA players, to which he pleaded guilty in 2023.
  • Post-release requirements include abstaining from drugs and alcohol and completing a finance class with a written paper, according to multiple reports.
  • Telfair said he feels rehabilitated and plans to reunite with his children while returning to play in Ice Cube’s Big3, claiming he has signed a contract.
  • During his prison stint he was photographed speaking with Sean “Diddy” Combs at Fort Dix and later said Combs is “holding it down.”
