    INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The NBA players' union filed a grievance Tuesday on behalf of Jamaal Tinsley, who has not been allowed to play or practice with the Indiana Pacers this season.

    Though Tinsley is listed on the Indiana roster, the Pacers have said they don't intend to bring him back because of off-the-court issues. He has been with the Pacers since 2001-02.

    Last March, charges in connection with a bar fight were dropped against Tinsley and teammate Marquis Daniels in exchange for 32 hours of community service. But the Pacers deemed Tinsley expendable in a roster shake-up that brought in seven new players over the summer.

    The NBA trade deadline is Feb. 19, and Tinsley has two years and $14.7 million left on his contract after this season.
