Webber Sentenced In Michigan Booster Case
The judge also noted Webber's completion of 330 hours of community service and out-of-pocket expenses of more than $78,000.

It's unclear if the session was anything more than a chance for the Sixers to take a look at the 22-year-old Wagner, who is best known for scoring 100 points in a high school win over Gloucester Tech. The Sixers declined comment on the matter.

Philadelphia 76ers player and former Michigan star Chris Webber was ordered to pay a $100,000 fine Wednesday, nearly two years after he pleaded guilty to a federal criminal contempt charge in the University of Michigan booster scandal.
U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds fined Webber the maximum allowed after she ruled that Webber's conviction should be treated as a misdemeanor rather than a felony, the U.S. Attorney's office said.
