The Hibachi is warming up now practicing at full speed with the Washington Wizards. Still, there is no word on when fresh Gilbert will be served to the guard lovin’ public.
“Though he says he does not know whether he will return to game action this season, three-time all-star guard Gilbert Arenas acknowledged yesterday that he has been practicing at full speed with his Wizards teammates since Feb. 16 and that his left knee, which has undergone three surgical procedures since April 2007, is nearly at full strength. “I’m out there feeling like the old Gilbert Arenas again,” Arenas said, shortly after Washington practiced at Verizon Center. “I’m running, jumping, dunking, feeling good. No pain, no swelling. My balance is back, my speed is back. The only thing I have to get used to again is being around other bodies out there on the court. I’m working on getting my timing back. The only thing I’m not doing is playing in games.”
The Wizard are in no danger of being north of .500 or being in the playoffs in the D-League right now, so Arenas should just wait. While I’d love to see Gilbert Arenas in game action right now. I’d prefer a full healthy portion of Arenas next season even more.
