WASHINGTON (AP) -- Down went Gilbert Arenas. And with him, in all likelihood, went the Washington Wizards' hopes of achieving much of anything in the playoffs this season.

Arenas sprained his left knee in a collision with Gerald Wallace in the first quarter of Wednesday night's 108-100 loss to the Charlotte Bobcats. The three-time All-Star will have an MRI on Thursday to determine the full extent of the damage, but the recovery time from such injuries is usually measured in weeks, not days, and the Wizards have only eight games left in the regular season.

He was just standing there, settling into rebounding position as Wallace drove baseline. When Wallace threw up one of those incredible, off-balance reverse layups, he crashed inadvertently into the left leg of the Washington Wizards' guard.


This could be a HUGE blow for Washington!

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Washington Wizards point guard Gilbert Arenas was to have surgery Thursday on his left knee and is essentially done for the season.

Arenas was diagnosed with a lateral meniscus tear and was to have arthroscopic surgery later in the day at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington. The Wizards said the recovery time will be two to three months, meaning he might play again this season only if Washington manages to make the NBA finals without him.

Arenas was injured in the first quarter of Wednesday night's 108-100 loss to the Charlotte Bobcats.


Wow....Big blow the Wizards. I cant see them going far now in the playoffs!!

Yowza. First butler then Arenas. Amazing that our team has more to look forward to than theirs (if we make the playoffs that is).
