FILE - In this Sept. 13, 2018 file photo, Boston Celtics guard Jabari Bird appears for arraignment on domestic violence charges at Brighton Municipal Court in Boston. Bird admitted to sufficient facts during a hearing Monday, March 11, 2019, in a complaint charging him with assaulting his ex-girlfriend. While not an admission of guilt, pleading to sufficient facts means the defendant acknowledges a likely conviction at trial. Bird, who was traded to the Atlanta Hawks in February, was released on bail after the hearing pending sentencing on May 28. (Angela Rowlings/The Boston Herald via AP, Pool, File)
