Damon Jones reportedly expects to plead guilty in US illegal betting case
Former NBA player Damon Jones is reportedly expected to plead guilty to criminal conspiracy in a case involving illegal betting and rigged poker games. A federal court hearing is scheduled for 28 April; Jones’s defence team says the negotiated terms do not require him to assist prosecutors against other defendants.
The case concerns alleged misuse of confidential player information to place bets before an official team update.
