Gilbert Arenas to play on Saturday

According to Comcast's Chris Miller, Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas sent Miller a text to let him know that Arenas is going to play on Saturday against the Detroit Pistons.
Via text, Arenas said: “Ur the first to get the truth. I’m playing Saturday against Detroit. And I’m only playin home games, but I will play in Cleveland. Me and Cleveland fans have this love hate relation.”
Arenas is a joke.

He later told Ivan Carter "It's true if that's what ends up happening" and Dan Steinberg "it's only true if I play on Saturday. If I don't play, it ain't true."

After signing a six-year, $111 million contract last off-season, Arenas had his third knee surgery in September. He hasn't played a game the entire season and played in only 13 games last season.

In November, when the Wizards were 1-9, Arenas was already talking about the possibility of the Wizards getting a high draft pick.

The Wizards have three regular-season home games left after they play the Pistons on Saturday. If he plays in Cleveland, that is five games. So, in other words, he will take the Wizards for $14.5 million (Arenas' estimate for the first year of his contract) or just under $3 million per game.
