WASHINGTON (AP) – Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas is playing his first home game since being suspended for bringing guns to the Verizon Center last season.
Washington coach Flip Saunders said that Arenas would play in Thursday night’s preseason game against the Milwaukee Bucks, but he wasn’t in the starting lineup two days after faking a knee injury to miss a home game Tuesday.
Arenas was fined Wednesday for saying he had sore left knee.
He was present for much of the time the Wizards’ locker room was open to the media before the game but wore headphones and didn’t speak to reporters.
Arenas hasn’t played a home game since Jan. 2, prior to his 50-game suspension and felony conviction.
