Former college All-American Antonio Blakeney is among 17 basketball players named in a point-shaving scheme to fix games in the NCAA and Chinese Basketball Association and rig bets, according to an indictment unsealed Thursday in Philadelphia.

The alleged scheme ran from September 2022 to February 2025 and defrauded various sportsbooks and individual bettors.
