Toronto Sun reports that Gilbert Arenas used a variety of means yesterday to indicate that he could make his season debut for the Washington Wizards this weekend against the Detroit Pistons.
“I’m playing Saturday against Detroit,” he said in a text message sent to Comcast SportsNet.
Asked if it was really so, the three-time all-star told a Washington Post reporter at the Verizon Center: “It’s only true if I play on Saturday.” Arenas then told the Washington Times by phone that playing Saturday is “the plan”.
Arenas took a fourth approach — playing coy — when approached by the Associated Press before last night’s game against the Chicago Bulls: “Everybody’s talking about Saturday, man. I don’t know how you can talk about Saturday when it ain’t here.”
