Damon Jones, a former NBA player and assistant coach, is anticipated to become the first individual to enter a guilty plea in a widespread gambling investigation. This sweep has already led to the arrests of over 30 people, including alleged mob figures and other individuals connected to basketball.
A change-of-plea hearing for Jones is now scheduled for April 28 in Brooklyn federal court, according to a recent court filing. The hearing was originally set for May 6 but was moved forward at the request of the involved parties.
