This is likely to be the biggest story in the NBA this season, so if you haven't been following, get caught up here, thanks to Yahoo! Sports.
We might never find out exactly what took place in the Washington lockerroom, but if the early reports are anything close to the truth, I highly doubt Gilbert Arenas will play again this season.
In 2004, Ron Artest was suspended for the rest of the season after fighting in the stands in Detroit. He fought with his hands, not guns, and still lost a season as a result.
NBA Commissioner David Stern will surely see the Arenas/Javaris Crittenton as a similar black eye for the league -- and much like the suspensions he enforced then to prevent a repeat, he'll lay down a tough ruling here to get out ahead of the now public gun-toting problem the league clearly has.
The Nets' Devin Harris suggested that up to 75% of players in the league carry guns. Ironically, that's about how much of the season Arenas is about to lose.
More coming Monday at 5 p.m. on www.scoreonair.com.
