LAS VEGAS (AP) -Former NBA All-Star Antoine Walker pleaded not guilty and a judge set trial for November on criminal bad check charges alleging Walker failed to repay almost $1 million in gambling debts and penalties to three Las Vegas casinos.
The 33-year-old Walker and his lawyer said nothing to reporters Wednesday after the brief arraignment before a Clark County District Court hearing master, Melisa De La Garza.
Walker could face probation or up to 12 years in prison if convicted.
Walker won a 2006 NBA championship with the Miami Heat, but hasn’t played in the NBA since 2008.
He filed last month for Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation, scuttling a promise to repay debts to Caesars Palace, Planet Hollywood and the Red Rock Resort, plus penalties to Clark County.
