Former NBA Player Sebastian Telfair Is Hoping for Donald Trump’s Presidential Pardon

Sebastian Telfair expressed to TMZ Sports his hope that Donald Trump might intervene on his behalf to mitigate a lengthy prison sentence. Following a breach of his supervised release related to a healthcare fraud case, the former NBA star is expected to report to prison on Tuesday. Telfair maintains optimism, suggesting that the former president could alter his fate. He described the situation as “definitely some bulls***,” asserting that if Trump hears his side, he could potentially escape the impending six-month incarceration.In a statement to TMZ, he urged, “Investigate my story, and you’re definitely going to want to pardon me. You’ll hold me accountable and expect me to continue making positive contributions. But I’ve done too much good to end up incarcerating anyone.” Telfair’s troubles stem from a scam he was involved in, alongside others like Glen “Big Baby” Davis, that defrauded the NBA’s health insurance program. Originally sentenced to time served and three years of supervised release, he now faces six months in light of alleged noncompliance.
