This is not the article I anticipated writing for Boston Celtics-related summer pre-camp news, but here we are.
Without baseless speculation on the current, developing situation regarding Jabari Bird, I thought it'd be useful to offer up what the league does in the new CBA regarding domestic abuse.
It recently updated a lot of this policy with an eye towards rehabilitation and counseling. You can say what you will about domestic abusers, but it's probably a good idea to approach the situation in this way, as they are going to abuse people until they get help, and some structure towards that end is a big step in breaking that cycle.
