There finally has been a result to Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas’ gun-possession incident. According to latest reports, he will not be able to play any NBA game in his NBA jersey until next season as the NBA commissioner David Stern has given the former All-Star a suspension for the rest of season, a much shorter suspension than another suspension scenario which should be a full 82-game ban.
The reports said that players’ union executive director Billy Hunter and union attorneys had negotiated the suspension terms with Stern over the past several days. And Stern has made his mind to suspend Arenas for the full 82 games if the union dares to appeal the shorter suspension. So Arenas is now trying his best to persuade the union not to appeal. After all, the more games he is to miss, the more money he will lose. He has already lost nearly $7.4 million for missing games since the incident along with the games he is suspended for, altogether to be 50 games.
However, the other Wizards guard involved in the incident, Javaris Crittenton, may have a different plan .Crittenton received the same suspension as Arenas, but his agent Mark Bartelstein said they have yet to decide whether to appeal the suspension.
