Gilbert & Javaris…

Washington Wizard guards Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton were suspended without pay for the remainder of the season by NBA commissioner David Stern, who said guns in the workplace “will not be tolerated.”……..Stern delivered the punishment after meeting with Arenas earlier Wednesday, and with Crittenton a day before. Arenas already had been suspended indefinitely by Stern on Jan. 6…….Both players admitted bringing guns into the Wizards’ locker room after an argument stemming from a card game on a team flight……. Stern said the players expressed remorse, but added, “nevertheless, there is no justification for their conduct

The Wizards Organization said …..

“Their poor judgment has also violated the trust of our fans and stands in contrast to everything (former owner) Abe Pollin stood for throughout his life,” the Wizards said in a statement.

Arenas will be forfeiting about $147,200 per game. Crittenton will lose about $13,435 per game from his $1.48 million salary.
