“We are aware of the incident involving Jabari Bird and are taking it very seriously,” the Celtics said in a statement. “We are actively gathering information and will reserve further comment at this time.”

He will reportedly appear in court on Monday. That’s when he’ll be officially charged.

Bird, the 56th overall pick in the second round of the 2017 NBA Draft, made his NBA debut on October 20th, 2017. He’s 24 years old and attended the University of California before being drafted.

He appeared in 13 games last season, including one start. He averaged 3.0 points, 1.5 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.2 steals, and 0.1 blocks per game.

Bird also played 20 games, starting all 20 games, with the Maine Red Claws. He averaged 19.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.4 steals, and 0.5 blocks per start.
