The lengthy saga of former NBA star Jayson Williams, who has battled criminal charges ever since the 2002 death of a limo driver by a blast from a shotgun the ex-professional athlete was showing off, is apparently growing even lengthier.

It's being reported that the judge has indefinitely delayed a hearing scheduled for Friday at which, according to the Associated Press and Newark Star-Ledger, Williams was expected to plead guilty to an aggravated assault charge. The AP reports that "no reason was given."

Both the AP and Newark Star-Ledger reported Thursday that they had learned that Williams had agreed to plead guilty to an aggravated assault charge which carries the possibility of a three-year prison sentence.
