While Jabari Bird's future in Boston hangs in the balance, the Celtics worked out guard Marcus Georges-Hunt Tuesday.

According to Jay King of The Athletic, Georges-Hunt could replace Bird's spot on the team's 15-man roster. He played in 42 games last season as a member of the Timberwolves, while also spending time in the G-League.

Although Georges-Hunt doesn't have a lot of experience at the pro level -- he averaged 1.6 points per game last season -- he's shown potential to be a solid 3-and-D guy for his versatility on both ends of the floor. Georges-Hunt averaged 16.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists in the G-League.

If the Celtics ultimately decide to extend an invite to training camp to Georges-Hunt, it won't be his first one with Boston. He participated in the team's 2016 training camp before heading up to Maine where he spent the bulk of the past two seasons as a member of the Red Claws.

There has been no update on Bird's arrest. His arraignment -- originally scheduled for Monday -- has been postponed and he remains guarded at a local hospital but is still expected to be to appear in court immediately upon his release.

"Bird’s girlfriend says he detained her for four hours on Friday afternoon in their Brighton apartment. He allegedly repeatedly kicked her and strangled her roughly a dozen times, including once until she lost consciousness. She reportedly tried hiding under a bed and in a locked bathroom, and when she tried to escape the apartment, he allegedly dragged her back by the ankles."

"Bird’s girlfriend escaped when he eventually suffered “seizure-like symptoms” and passed out, according to the police report. She reportedly moved him to a bed and fled in a friend’s car. When Bird came to, he allegedly texted her and threatened to kill himself if she did not return to the apartment."



Hopefully they get rid of this idiot.

This guy went from scrapping to the bare minimum, to finally making it in the NBA, to literally destroying and crumbling any potential suitors or possibilities/opportunities straight out the fucking window in one fell swoop.
