WASHINGTON (AP)—Gilbert Arenas(notes) has been fined for faking an injury to keep from playing in the Washington Wizards home preseason opener.
Coach Flip Saunders said Wednesday that Arenas was fined an undisclosed amount by the team for claiming to have a sore knee before the Wizards’ game against Atlanta on Tuesday night.
Arenas said after the game that he pretended to have a bum knee to give teammate Nick Young(notes) a chance to start.
It would have been Arenas’ first game at home since his 50-game suspension and felony conviction for bringing guns into the locker room last season.
