NBA

In the 2017 NBA Draft , Bird was selected 56th by the Boston Celtics . With the Celtics he signed a two-way contract, which enabled him to collect match practice with the NBA G-League team Maine Red Claws and to be in the Celtics squad for up to 45 days. In the G-League, Bird played 20 games and scored 19.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists on average. Bird made his NBA debut on October 20, 2017, playing against the Philadelphia 76ers .

Before the start of the 2018/19 NBA season , Bird was arrested by police on charges of assaulting and strangling a person. Even before the incident, Bird was said to have received medical treatment for mental problems. The Atlanta Hawks secured the rights to Bird for money in a trade with the Celtics in early 2019. However, the Hawks released Bird immediately after the trade to save money, so Bird is currently a free agent.
