Sebastian Telfair Released From Federal Custody After Supervision Violation

The former guard now enters supervision with sobriety requirements plus a financial-responsibility assignment.

Overview

  • The 40-year-old was released from Bureau of Prisons custody this week after spending several months at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey.
  • He was sent to prison in August when a judge revoked his supervision over failures to complete community service and to report to his probation officer.
  • Telfair had pleaded guilty in 2023 in a case alleging false medical and dental claims to the NBA’s health plan that involved 18 former players.
  • Post-release conditions include abstaining from drugs and alcohol, completing a financial-responsibility class, and writing a paper on what he learned and how he will apply it.
  • After his release he said he feels rehabilitated and plans to reunite with his children, and he told TMZ he has signed a Big3 contract.
