Arenas has been Suspended Indefinitely

Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports cites a NBA source who says, “[David] Stern feels like he’s been taunted by [Arenas]. He’s done for the year… at the very least.” Arenas certainly got the commissioners attention with the constant tweeting, using his fingers as fake guns and by saying that Stern was “mean”. We would be very surprised to see Arenas appear in another game this season and it sounds like Stern could push for even more.

Though he may have been acting in what he thought was an innocuous, fun-loving manner, the sum effect is that Arenas made the wrong person very angry, and is now going to pay the price. There is a strong possibility that Arenas may have played his last game as a Wizard.

A new Washington Post report has chilling details concerning a confrontation believed to have taken place between Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittentonin the Wizards locker room.

Arenas reportedly told Crittenton that he brought in some guns to make it easy for him to shoot Arenas over a gambling argument, while Crittenton told him he didn’t need those, as he had his own – which he then loaded and cocked, according to unnamed witnesses. Crittenton’s gun was never found, which means the authorities would have a hard time building a case against him. But this probably means that Crittenton is not in the clear with David Stern.

Elsewhere around the NBA:

Denver: Anthony (knee) practiced on Wednesday and is considered a game-time decision for Friday’s game against the Cavs. “I don’t think it’s affecting my shooting or anything. It’s just more my explosiveness, pushing off on my first step,” Anthony said. That he practiced is obviously a good sign, but a final decision on his status could be on hold until Friday.

Denver: Chauncey Billups, who had missed seven of his last eight games with a groin injury, practiced on Wednesday and said he expects to play on Friday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. That’s all we know from the Nuggets on Twitter, but that pretty much says it all.

Boston: The Celtics waived guard Lester Hudson on Wednesday. This comes as a shock, especially since he participated in today’s shootaround. The Boston Celtics would have had to guarantee his contract if he was still with the team tomorrow, so look for him to land on some 10-day contracts in the near future if he clears waivers.

Los Angelas: ESPN reported Wednesday that Pau Gasol has a Grade 1 tear in his left hamstring.
That’s relatively good news, as his early right hamstring injury was a Grade 2 tear that kept him out for 11 games. Hopefully he’ll be back next week, but no target date has been set for his return
