Former Boston Celtics reserve wing Terrence Williams has reportedly pleaded guilty to defrauding the NBA according to a recent article by Reuters’ Jonathan Stempel. Williams, who played for the Celtics for 24 games in the 2012-13 season, offered a guilty plea to conspiracy and identity theft in a New York City trial accusing the Louisville product of being the ringleader of a wide-ranging scam allegedly involving a number of other Celtics alumni.
The criminal venture was created to defraud an NBA health plan to have it pay millions for medical procedures that never happened to participating doctors sharing kickbacks to the players who have been accused of taking part in the scam.
Williams also agreed to pay back $2.5 million in restitution to the league plan and forfeit $653,673 to the court as part of his plea.
