Damon Jones to Plead Guilty

A court filing has scheduled a change-of-plea hearing for Damon Jones on May 6 in a Brooklyn federal court.

Jones was among dozens of individuals, including reputed mob figures, charged last year in connection with two separate gambling schemes.

Prosecutors allege that Jones used his access to NBA locker rooms to profit from rigged games and insider tips.

His decision to plead guilty makes him the first high-profile sports figure to admit involvement in the investigation, which has sent shockwaves through the basketball community.
