Just days after Washington Wizards co-captains Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison expressed optimism that they would soon get some relief in the form of a healthy return by franchise player Gilbert Arenas (http://www.washingtontimes.com/themes/?Theme=Gilbert+Arenas), the mood suddenly shifted to despair.
Butler said he didn't expect Arenas to return from his September knee surgery during a Thursday interview on ESPN 980's "The John Thompson Show." He reiterated his thoughts Friday: The two-time All-Star said "the truth happened" and that forced him to change his opinion.
"I really don't think it's gonna happen," Butler said.
Arenas also expressed uncertainty about his return from a third knee surgery since April 2007.
