The curse continues? Gilbert has a sprained wrist.

Per Ivan Carter


Before the Wizards practiced this morning, I watched Gilbert Arenas attempt a couple of warm-up shots. They missed everything and he started messing with his right wrist and soon called for the athletic trainers to check him out.

Turns out he sprained his right wrist at some point during the game last night when he collided with LeBron James and it must have stiffened up on him overnight. He didn't mention a problem with the wrist during his postgame presser.

If Arenas is playing he'll be productive. I don't really care if he's not lighting it up from three, it's not like Delonte West can stop him if we post him up.

Doesnt matter. GA will give us 20+ mins off the bench, shoot the ball just well enough to keep whoever is guarding him honest, and dish the ball like we all know he can, if he wanted to. Its just a small sprain...nothing to be too worried about.

I think we can all agree Ji is the natural choice for that sort of work.
