He was sentenced to two years&#8217; probation and 30 days of time in a halfway house and was suspended by the NBA during the investigation. Arenas, now 43, played his last NBA game in 2012.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Since leaving the NBA, he has hosted a range of daily sports shows and podcasts. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Arenas&#8217; five co-conspirators were charged with conspiracy to operate an illegal gambling business and one count of operating an illegal gambling business.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Separately, Gershman, an Israeli citizen, was charged with three additional charges relating to immigration and marriage fraud.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/jacob-rosen\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Jacob  Rosen<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Jake Rosen is a reporter covering the Department of Justice.
