However, Sportico reported in June that Telfair did not comply with the terms of his conditional supervised release. He was not up to his community service ordered by the Court and did not inform the United States probation office and is now ready to spend six months in prison for him.
He told TMZ Sports this week that the situation was “definitely some bulls —“.
“Trump, go registering my story, and you will definitely want to forgive me. You will take responsibility for me and want it to continue doing well. But I did too well to send someone to jail,” he told TMZ Sports.
Telfair said that the whole problem arose from a problem with paperwork and that it was “super unfair.”

He said that if Trump does not come for him, then he will be in jail trying to improve.
Telfair was among the 18 former NBA players who were accused in October 2021 to pocket about $ 2.5 million when defrauding the NBA health and welfare benefit plan with a scam that involved false medical and dental expenses.
NBA champion Glen “Big Baby” Davis received a 40 -month sentence in May 2024.
Telfair reached a guilt in the case, and prosecutors recommended that it serve between 15 and 21 months, according to Sportico. He was sentenced on time and three years of a supervised release program.
