Per ESPN"A source told ESPN that Bird had been receiving treatment with the help of a Celtics doctor and that medication could have played a role in the alleged attack."Yikes. Not a good decade for the Celtics' medical staff.
So it looks like the Celtics were aware there were recent issues with Bird, though they did not foresee something like this happening. He had even already started treatment before the incident.http://www.bostonherald.com/news/local_coverage/2018/09/source_celtics_jabari_bird_sought_treatment_before_domestic_violence?amp=People around Bird have been aware that he recently had been experiencing, according to one source close to him, “panic attacks and things like that. It wasn’t a long-term thing, but everyone knew. The Celtics knew there was something going on and he was being treated.”and “This wasn’t one of the domestic-violence situations you usually see where someone gets jealous for one thing and loses control. There was something deeper going on here with (Bird). This was a bad situation.”

Sponsors and most fans don't want to support somebody who tortured and severely injured his girlfriend.

Not a good decade for the Celtics' medical staff.My guess is that’s a pro-Jabari source.

Is it fair to say that this the point that the Celtics are on a wait and see with Jabari?
Quote from: JSD on October 01, 2018, 06:52:10 AMIs it fair to say that this the point that the Celtics are on a wait and see with Jabari? They are waiting for the NBA to finish its investigation. If the Celtics cut him now, they are on the hook for his entire salary. If they wait for him to be suspended, They will get some monetary relief both on his salary and any corresponding luxury tax hit.
The league and Celtics were addressing mental health issues. Kevin Love and Marcus Morris both had recently come out in the press.If Jabari had no past history of abuse was seeking help voluntarily and suffered a reaction that led to a psychotic episode or he had a psychotic breakdown as a result of a escalating illness.Then there is the possibility of having two victims.
