Convicted in February of pulling a gun during a schoolyard basketball game last year, rapper The Game reported to a Los Angeles jail Sunday night to serve his 60-day sentence.

The Game, real name Jayceon Terrell Taylor, was at the center of an incident in February 2007, when during a basketball game on school premises in southern Los Angeles he and a member of the opposing team got into an argument.

The Game punched his rival and then took a gun from his car, which he used to threat the man with, E! Online reports, quoting the police report.

The player he threatened, Rodrick Shannon, told the court during a hearing in September that the rapper had hit him in the face during the game at the Rita Walters Educational Learning Complex. He then went over to his car and took out the gun, which he brought back to the basketball court and threatened Shannon with it.

The Game reported to Los Angeles’ Twin Towers Correctional Facility Sunday night to begin serving the 60-day sentence for possessing a gun while on school premises. Celebrity gossip site TMZ.com reports that the 28-year-old rapper will stay in an isolated cell segregated from the general prison population.

He is expected to serve only about half of his sentence and is currently slated to be released on Apr. 3, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department website.

The Game has also been sentenced to 150 hours of community service and three years’ probation.

A plea deal was reached last month and two of the three felony counts against him were dropped. The rapper had faced counts of making criminal threats, possession of a firearm in a school zone and exhibiting a firearm in the presence of an officer.

Despite his current legal problems, The Game’s debut in the music industry was auspicious. In 2006, his first major label album, “The Documentary” released via Interscope Records in 2005, brought him two Grammy nominations.
