According to New York Post, a former vice president of the NBPA Keyon Dooling, who is now an assistant coach of the Utah Jazz, was arrested on Wednesday and added to a criminal case in which 18 former NBA players were charged with illegally pocketing millions of dollars by defrauding the league’s health and welfare benefit plan.
In a statement, the Jazz said Dooling made the club aware of the indictment on Wednesday morning.
“It is a case concerning his time at the National Basketball Players Association, prior to him joining our organization. He has been put on paid administrative leave,” the Jazz said. “Due to the ongoing legal process, we will refrain from further comment.”
Keyon Dooling played 13 seasons for 7 teams, including the Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Clippers. He averaged 7.0 points and 2.2 assists in 728 regular-season games.
