WASHINGTON -- In his first game at the Verizon Center in more than nine months, Gilbert Arenas was gone in a flash.
Two nights after he admitted faking a left knee injury, Arenas played just three minutes before exiting the Washington Wizards' 96-88 preseason loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night with a strained right groin. Saunders fined Arenas for the fake injury Tuesday. Before Thursday's game, he wasn't eager to revisit the incident.
"That's over with. I'm not going to get into it," Saunders said. "I've done enough."
Saunders contended that Arenas had been a loyal player during training camp.
"He's been with us. Whatever we've asked him to do, he's basically done," Saunders said.
