Arenas Actually Owed Gambling Debt to JaVale McGee
UPDATE: NBA Suspends Gilbert Arenas Indefinitely
The Gilbert Arenas – Javaris Crittenton ‘Showdown at the Verizon Center’ where both men allegedly drew guns on each other, over a gambling debt, has another new twist.
The NY Post is reporting that Arenas had actually lost $60,000 gambling cards with backup Wizards center JaVale McGee.
Crittenton volunteered to front his teammate’s debt to McGee and, as a reward, found himself staring down the barrel of a gun — in a possibly career-ending controversy that rocked the sports world, the blog said.
It seems that Crittenton considered the monetary assist a loan. Arenas — who had objected to the results of the card game for reasons that were not made clear — apparently had other ideas.
Arenas reportedly brandished a gun towards Crittenton when Crittenton began questioning Arenas about the debt. Crittenton apparently then pulled out his handgun as well.
Both men could be facing prison time and lengthy suspensions from the NBA for possessing and brandishing guns in D.C. and at NBA facilities.
A grand jury in D.C. is scheduled to convene later today or tomorrow to decide what and if any charges should be filed against the participants.
