NEW YORK — Former Cleveland Cavaliers player and coach Damon Jones is expected to enter a guilty plea in his sports betting case, according to a court filing Thursday.

Jones was arrested in a blockbuster pair of indictments in Brooklyn Federal Court in October that also netted an NBA player, an NBA coach and 31 other suspects. He’s accused of leaking inside information to bettors before NBA games, and taking part in a Mafia-connected conspiracy to lure high rollers into a rigged poker game.

The other NBA stars indicted include Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier and Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups.

On Thursday, a docket entry in the bet-rigging case revealed Jones is ready to take a deal: “Defendant Jones’s change of plea is respectfully REFERRED to Magistrate Judge Joseph A. Marutollo,” the docket entry reads. It’s unclear if Jones is making a similar change of plea in the poker case.

Jones’ lawyer, Kenneth Montgomery, and a spokesman for U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella both declined comment Thursday.

Jones and Rozier have been linked to bet rigging in seven pro games in 2023 and 2024.

Jones, an unofficial assistant coach for the Lakers in 2022 and 2023, used his position to leak info about a Feb. 9, 2023, game against the Milwaukee Bucks, texting a conspirator, “Get a big bet on Milwaukee tonight before the information is out! [Player 3] is out tonight. Bet enough so Djones can eat to [sic] now!!!”, according to the feds.

He and Billups are also accused of acting as the “face cards” to lure starstruck big-money gamblers into high-stakes poker games in Manhattan, Las Vegas, the Hamptons and Miami.

The underground game’s organizers used a variety of high-tech methods to cheat, including an altered automatic card shuffler, an X-ray table and a poker chip tray with hidden cameras, according to the feds.

Jones sent off text messages about his role in the criminal conspiracy, asking one accomplice to front him $10,000 before one East Hampton game and telling him: “God really blessed me that u have action for me because I needed it today bad.”

When another accomplice gave him advice on how to play the rigged game correctly, Jones boasted, “Lol man y’all call Djones in cause y’all know I know what I’m doing!! Let me hibachi like Gilbert Arenas.”

Arenas, another ex-NBA player, was arrested and charged in July with running an illegal, high-stakes poker game out of his Los Angeles home.

Jones told a judge back in December he was in plea negotiations. He’s expected to plead guilty at his next scheduled court date on April 28.
