A former National Basketball Association player was sentenced on Thursday to 10 years in prison after leading a 'brazen' scheme involving at least 19 players to defraud a league health plan into paying millions of dollars for bogus medical procedures, federal prosecutors said.

U.S. District Judge Valerie Caproni in Manhattan federal court also sentenced him to pay $2.5 million in restitution to the NBA Players' Health and Welfare Benefit Plan, and forfeit $653,673, in accordance with his plea agreement. Lawyers for Williams did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Prosecutors had sought a 10- to 12-year prison term, while Williams sought no more than 50 months.
