WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP) – Javaris Crittenton had little chance to distinguish himself in his first two seasons in the NBA. Then he became famous last year for the wrong reason – as the “other guy” in the Gilbert Arenas gun saga.
Reinstated after a lengthy suspension and healthy again following a botched ankle surgery, Crittenton is hoping to earn a roster spot with the Charlotte Bobcats and revive a career that took a detour.
Crittenton says it’s “a blessing” to be playing again. He acknowledges he never would have anticipated that in three years he’d go from first-round pick of the Los Angeles Lakers to scrambling to make an NBA roster with a non-guaranteed deal.
It’s a combination of bad luck and poor decisions, which includes his dispute with Arenas last season.
