Richard Jefferson, who won the NBA championship with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016, has commented on the situation involving former player Damon Jones, who is accused of passing on information about the health of Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James to make it easier to bet on the California team's games.
According to İdman.Biz, it was previously reported that Jones knew that James would miss the game against the Milwaukee Bucks on February 9, 2023.
"He could have been passing on information about more than just Bron. But the prosecution wants to specifically use Bron's name. Did he pass on information about other players? About staffs? About something else? When it comes to rule violations, they take the most famous player and say, "he passed on information about Bron."
In reality, Jones is a person who has worked in various teams and coaching staffs in the league. He cannot be associated with just one player, he is connected to the entire NBA. That's the whole problem," Jefferson said on the Road Trippin' Show YouTube channel.
