A day after coming clean about his role in an NBA gambling ring, Tim Donaghy was back home in Florida and - in his first public comments - apologizing for his actions.

"I'm very sorry about what happened," Donaghy, 40, told the Daily News outside his home.

"I'm not going to say anything beyond that. This is an ongoing case - I can't say anything else."

Donaghy had plenty to say in Brooklyn Federal Court this week, pleading guilty to two gambling-related charges and telling a judge he was paid $30,000 to pass inside information on professional basketball games to his bookie buddies.
