Gilbert Arenas of the Washington Wizards was suspended indefinitely without pay on January 6, 2010, following an incident in which he and teammate Javaris Crittenton reportedly pulled guns on one another in the locker room on December 24, 2009.

NBA commissioner David Stern spoke of the suspension, noting “Although it is clear that the actions of Mr. Arenas will ultimately result in a substantial suspension, and perhaps worse, his ongoing conduct has led me to conclude that he is not currently fit to take the court in an NBA game. Accordingly, I am suspending Mr. Arenas indefinitely, without pay, effective immediately pending the completion of the investigation by the NBA.”
