LAS VEGAS (AP) — Former NBA all-star Antoine Walker is due before a judge for failing to repay some $900,000 in gambling debts and penalties to three Las Vegas casinos.
The 33-year-old Walker has been trying since last year to resolve debts to Caesars Palace, Planet Hollywood and the Red Rock Resort, as well as penalties to Clark County.
But he hasn’t found a place to play basketball, and a repayment plan was scuttled by his bankruptcy filing last month.
Walker claims $12.7 million in liabilities and $4.3 million in assets — including the 2006 NBA championship ring he won with the Miami Heat.
The felony criminal charges in Nevada could get Walker probation or up to 12 years in prison.
