Washington Wizards point guard, Gilbert Arenas and teammate Javaris Crittenton, could both face suspension and/or hefty fines, after a "standoff" that took place in the locker room of the Verizon Center.
According to the Post, the two players got into an argument over an unsettled gambling bet that Gilbert refused to pay.
As the argument escalated,
Crittenton and Gilbert pulled guns on one another. It is unclear how the dispute ended, or if anyone went to jail. But what's definite is that authorities are investigating.
It is reported that Gilbert had three pistols stored in the safe of his locker at the Verizon Center. He told authorities that he moved the guns there after the birth of his last child. Although the guns were not loaded or stored with ammunition, Gilbert and Crittenton have violated the NBA's Bargaining Agreement. This agreement allows for players to legally possess firearms, but prohibits them at league facilities or when traveling on league business.
It will be interesting to see how authorities handle this situation, and what Gilbert and Crittenton's interaction will be like on the court, after its resolved. Not that the Wizards were doing well anyway, with a record of 10-20, I suppose they could use a little heat to make it to the basket.
