Sebastian Telfair Released From Federal Custody After Supervised-Release Violation

His confinement stemmed from a supervised-release violation in the NBA health plan fraud case.

Overview

  • The 40-year-old ex-NBA guard was released from Bureau of Prisons custody this week after serving several months at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey.
  • He was ordered to prison in August following a violation tied to his earlier conviction, with reporting citing failures to complete court-ordered community service and to report to his probation officer.
  • Post-release terms require him to abstain from drugs and alcohol, complete a class, and submit a paper on financial responsibility.
  • Telfair said he feels rehabilitated and expressed plans to return to his children after leaving Fort Dix, according to Antoinette Media.
  • He previously pleaded guilty in 2023 in a case alleging roughly $4 million in false claims to the NBA’s health and welfare plan that implicated about 18 former players.
