WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Gilbert Arenas of the Washington Wizards will miss the first month of the season after undergoing a surgical procedure on his left knee Wednesday, according to a story in the Washington Post.

Arenas confirmed the surgery to the Post, saying it "cleaned out some debris." He added that he plans to return to the court in early December.

"I just had some floating debris in there that was slowing me down," said Arenas, according to the Post. "It was irritating the knee so we decided to go in there and clean it out. This should actually allow me to come back faster."

Arenas has had surgery on his left knee twice in the last two seasons. He played in only 13 regular-season games last season. He missed the 2007 playoffs after tearing the left meniscus in his knee late in the regular season.

He signed a six-year, $111 million contract over the summer.

You would think he would take care of these things at the beginning of summer rather than waiting. This is the third season in a row. Ridiculous Gil.

Personally I think he's the next Alan Houston. Awesome first couple years, signs a giant contract, has knee surgery, game over.

We will never see the old Agent Zero return.

Well, maybe this will finally put a stop to all those "we want Gil!" threads in the trade forum.

Glad the Wizards are stuck with Mr. Arrogant and Overrated.


On the plus side....Now Arenas has more time to bash superior players and his teammates in his blogs.
