NEW YORK — Will Bynum, who played for the Detroit Pistons for six season, has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for his conviction in a scandal involving NBA insurance fraud. Bynum was sentenced Tuesday in Manhattan federal court. He was convicted last November of conspiring to make false statements related to NBA players who submitted false dental and medical claims to the NBA Players' Health and Benefit Welfare Plan. Bynum averaged 8.1 points and 3.3 assists in 360 games during his career. More than 20 people have been convicted in the case, many of them onetime NBA players.
