ATLANTA (AP) -Washington coach Flip Saunders believes a two-game trip could help the Wizards concentrate on basketball with the Gilbert Arenas gun investigation hovering over his team at home.
Saunders said Wednesday: “I think everyone was happy to get on the plane last night, to get away. To know that they weren’t going to be summoned to a principal’s office or anything else to go talk to somebody about something.”
NBA commissioner David Stern suspended Arenas indefinitely on Jan. 6 for after the Wizards star guard acknowledged keeping guns in his locker at the team’s arena, Verizon Center.
Saunders, however, insists the problems stemming from the Arenas fallout are not distracting his team on the court despite having players subject to occasional meetings with law enforcement.
