A criminal complaint has been filed against former Celtic Antoine Walker, with Las Vegas prosecutors claiming the former NBA star has not repaid $822,500 in gambling debts to three casinos, the Las Vegas Sun reported.

Walker, who played with the Celtics from 1996 to 2003 (and again in 2005), has reportedly been charged with failing to pay back $1 million worth of markers at Caesars Palace, Planet Hollywood and Red Rock Resort.

Chief deputy DA Bernie Zadrowski told the Sun he was asking a Las Vegas justice of the peace for an arrest warrant for Walker. Zadrowski said Walker has paid back some of the debt, but still owes $822,500.

Jonathan Powell, an attorney for Walker in Las Vegas, declined to comment, according to the report.
