Jabari Bird has reportedly plead not guilty to two new charges related to the September, 2018 domestic violence incident that saw his removal from the team since the start of the season.
Bird, who'd worked his way up from a two-way deal to a regular NBA contract, is accused of multiple, very serious charges stemming from an incident with a former romantic interest, who he is accused of threatening and choking.
The Boston Celtics have been very cautious with the matter, stating their distaste for violence of any sort while holding Jabari out while he becomes the first person to work his way through the league's domestic violence policy, settled just months before Bird's situation forced an early test.
