The red flag in the Jabari Bird matter
Jabari Bird appeared in court yesterday for a pre-trial conference on the assault and kidnapping charges against him. His next appearance will be on January 30, 2019. Justice moves slowly, particularly in Massachusetts, so don't expect any definitive results on that date.
Thus far, no action has been taken either by the NBA or the Boston Celtics on Bird's future with the team or the League. There may also be a feeling by Danny Ainge and others that not reaching a decision could avoid further violence. The allegations of strangulation made against Jabari, if true, are a huge red flag.
Jabari Bird appeared in court today. No major developments. His next court date is scheduled for January 30th.
