In his first game of the season off the bench, Gilbert Arenas collided with Gerald Wallace while going for a rebound after the latter's reverse layup that actually went in during the first quarter of the game between Washington and Charlotte won by the Bobcats, 108-100. Agent Zero, only playing two minutes prior to the injury, fell awkwardly to the floor after the collision. Arenas ended the game with a single rebound in the stat sheet. In his first start, Antonio Daniels scored 18 points and dished out a season-high 17 assists, the first Wizard in seven years to pass at least 15 assists. This is the first win of the Bobcats franchise in D.C, sweeping a home-and-home set. They won the other day at Charlotte, 122-102. The Wizards are now down to a full game behind idle Miami for the Southeast title. The Heat will face Cleveland tomorrow at 7:00 AM (Manila Time).

Tough blow for the Wizards. If he's out for awhile they are done. After losing Butler they really need Arenas to be 100% come playoff time. Hopefully the injury isn't too serious, but even if it isn't I don't see the Wizards doing much damage in the playoffs against teams like the Cavs and Pistons.
