Ben McLemore, 32, issued a lengthy statement after the hearing, blaming heavy alcohol consumption for impairing his judgment. He played at Wellston High and the University of Kansas.

Former NBA player Ben McLemore was sentenced to 100 months in Oregon state prison on Wednesday after recently being found guilty of sexually assaulting a then-21-year-old woman at a house party in the Portland suburb of Lake Oswego in 2021.
