NBA champion Glen Davis granted early prison release after fraud conviction

Former NBA star Glen Davis has returned home, more than a year earlier than initially anticipated.

Davis was released Thursday after spending 17 months behind bars. He was sentenced to 40 months in prison following his conviction for his part in attempting to defraud a health care benefits plan. Davis’ attorney, Brendan White, said the NBA champion made the most of his time while serving his sentence.

"He used his time productively while serving his sentence and took many programs during that time," White, told The Athletic.
