Gilbert Arenas Injury Update – Finger

Health has been a problem for Gilbert Arenas in the last few years. The point guard for the Washington Wizards has played only 15 games over the last two seasons due to a multiple knee surgeries. Unfortunately, Arenas is hurt again.

Late in the offseason, Arenas injured his middle finger — later diagnosed as a dislocation. This week during Wizards training camp, he aggravated the finger injury. As a result, he was forced to sit out scrimmages.

The good news is that the Wizards believe Arenas should be back on the court soon. Additionally, all reports indicate that the 27-year-old appears to be healthy on his surgically repaired knee.

Washington and Arenas hope that this is the year the former All-Star returns to an elite level. During the 2005-06 season, Arenas averaged 29.3 points per game. The next year, he averaged 28.4 points. Last season, in only two games, Arenas averaged only 13.0 points per contest.
