However, it’s not a given that Arenas will return to the court during the 2008-09 NBA season. With the Wizards buried in the standings, Arenas returning to the court wouldn’t make much sense. Most people expect Arenas and the Wizards to play it safe and have Arenas sit out until the beginning of next season.

That said, it might be worth the risk of picking up Arenas now and hoping that he decides to play at some point. If you have an open roster spot and a deep enough roster, what could it hurt? If he actually returns, Arenas is a stud fantasy player who will get his usual load of touches with the Wizards.

Heading into next season, Arenas will be a difficult player to evaluate. He’s been hampered by injuries lately and there’s no guarantee that he will ever be 100% again. But there will likely be fantasy owners willing to hope Arenas will have put the injuries behind him.

Off the court, Arenas is a success. However, in the fantasy basketball world, all we are concerned about is how he’s playing on the court. For Arenas, the first thing we want to know is when he’ll be playing on the court.

According to the latest reports, Arenas is a little bit ahead of schedule. He took on Nick Young in a game of one-on-one and beat him. He’s also said to be dunking the basketball in practice.

That said, Arenas is at the very least another month away from returning. More likely, you won’t see him until around Christmas.

What can you expect when he gets back? While the Wizards will likely bring him along slowly at first, it won’t be long before he’s contributing big minutes. A that point, there’s no reason to believe he can’t be a fantasy basketball force once again. While he’s been injured a lot recently, none of the injuries have been considered career threatening. If he’s available in your fantasy basketball league, a smart move would be to pick him up and wait out his injury.
