NBA Suspends Gilbert Arenas Indefinitely
NBA dictator commissioner David Stern has suspended Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas indefinitely for brandishing handguns in the Wizards locker room at the Verizon Center in D.C.
Stern said the following in a statement the NBA released on Wednesday:
“Although it is clear that the actions of Mr. Arenas will ultimately result in a substantial suspension, and perhaps worse, his ongoing conduct has led me to conclude that he is not currently fit to take the court in an NBA game.”
“Accordingly, I am suspending Mr. Arenas indefinitely, without pay, effective immediately pending the completion of the investigation by the NBA.”
Fellow Smith & Wesson Wizard Javaris Crittenton was hounding Arenas over an unpaid gambling debt Arenas owed to backup center JaVale McGee.
Crittenton had covered the $60,000 debt to McGee for Arenas. Arenas reportedly brandished three handguns which prompted Crittenton to pull out his piece as well within the locker room.
Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting (via Twitter) that the suspension will cost Arenas $147,000 per game.
