According to Philadelphia Sports Radio 950's Jamie Yannacone, other officials could be implicated in the Donaghy gambling case.
Speaking on the condition of anonymity, a former NBA player told Yannacone that if Donaghy talks "double-digit numbers of referees and at least one player could be implicated".
Of course, this is all dependent on if Donaghy talks.
"Either way, it might be the case that nothing comes to light if Donaghy keeps quiet," Yannacone told Not The Game, "but my source, a former NBA player, was adamant that the NBA could be in serious trouble if Donaghy sings."
"Unfortunately, there is not really much more I can say about it."
Putting this in perspective, it is unlikely that Donaghy will want to rat out anyone else who was involved, as this would anger a lot of people. Probably people that Donaghy does not want to anger.
If this does come out, and there were other officials and players involved, then this could be the end of the NBA as we know it. One bad apple is one thing, but if what we have been watching for the last few years has been a farce, than this will do more harm than any strike or scandal could.
We will stay on top of this at Not The Game.
