Georges-Hunt could be re-signed after the Celtics get a resolution of Jabari Bird's status, Keith Smith of CelticsBlog reports. Bird is inactive as the NBA continues an investigation of his arrest on domestic violence charges.

Sources: The Boston Celtics hope to have a decision from the NBA on the status of Jabari Bird soon. Until then, it is likely Bird will remain on the roster and will be inactive.

This means that Marcus Georges-Hunt may be the final camp waiver, but likely to be re-signed later.

The Celtics can't cut Bird until they have a decision on his status from the NBA, which handles all domestic violence cases involving league personnel. If the NBA rules the contract can be voided, it won't count against the team's salary cap and could clear the way for Hunt to re-sign.
