The Feb. 9, 2023, game between the Bucks and Lakers that was referenced in the indictment was one that LeBron James did not play in.

Reports suggest that Damon Jones used his friendship with LeBron James to inform others to bet on a Lakers-Bucks game in 2023.

Former Cavaliers player and assistant coach Damon Jones allegedly received $2,500 for insider information that backfired during a 2024 Lakers game involving close friend LeBron James.

Damon Jones is alleged in a recently unsealed indictment to have shared private medical information connected to an unnamed NBA player as part of a larger "criminal betting operation," it has been revealed.

Jones joined the Cavaliers as an informal shooting assistant in 2014 before taking on an assistant role with the team's G League affiliate, the Canton Charge, in 2015-16. Lue, who replaced David Blatt as head coach of the Cavaliers in January 2016, added Jones to his NBA staff ahead of the 2016 playoffs and kept him on through 2018.

Damon Jones' alleged betting texts related to Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James have been revealed this week.
