Glen Davis Granted Delay in 40-Month Sentence

Former Boston Celtics player Glen 'Big Baby' Davis has been granted a delay in starting his 40-month prison sentence for defrauding the NBA's health care system. Judge Valerie E. Caproni allowed the postponement until October 22 to enable Davis to complete a documentary about his life. Davis, convicted alongside other former players for submitting over $5 million in fraudulent claims, owes $80,000 in restitution. His attorney argued that the documentary's revenue could help cover this amount, citing Davis's 'colossal streak of bad luck' following his basketball career. The delay has sparked mixed reactions, highlighting the perceived privileges afforded to athletes.
