Former NBA player and assistant coach Damon Jones has pleaded guilty to gambling charges, US media reported Tuesday, the first conviction in a betting scandal that engulfed elite basketball.

Jones, 49, was charged over his alleged role in a scheme that prosecutors say provided inside information on injuries and game absences to bettors between December 2022 and March 2024.

In one instance, he shared that LeBron James would not play due to injury in a Los Angeles Lakers game against the Milwaukee Bucks before that information was made public.

Kylie Jenner joined her boyfriend Timothée Chalamet courtside at Madison Square Garden on April 28 as the New York Knicks played a crucial playoff game against the Atlanta Hawks.

The matchup marked Game 5 of their Eastern Conference first round series, which was tied at two games each heading into the night. With the series evenly poised, the game carried major significance for both teams, especially for the Knicks as they aimed to take control on their home court. It also had the potential to be the final home game of the series unless it extended to a deciding seventh game in New York.

Chalamet had already attended Game 3 earlier in the series, where Atlanta secured a narrow 109 to 108 victory. For this latest outing, he was joined by Jenner, turning the high stakes game into a public date night for the couple.
