阿里那斯膝伤将缺阵2-3个月 Arenas out 2-3 months with knee injury

Put the Hibachi in storage. Gilbert Arenas is essentially done for the season. The Washington Wizards point guard had surgery Thursday for a left knee injury that will sideline him for two to three months. Even the most optimistic scenario has him coming back only if his team manages to make the NBA finals without him.

"It's pretty much down," said guard DeShawn Stevenson, assessing the mood of the locker room following Thursday's practice. "But at the same time, we are a playoff team. We have to worry about the playoffs and winning games."

Arenas was diagnosed with a lateral meniscus tear and had arthroscopic surgery at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington. He was injured in the first quarter of Wednesday night's 108-100 loss to the Charlotte Bobcats.

Arenas, who averaged 28.4 points and six assists this season, was always coming up with a new catch phrase. The best ones were his nickname -- Agent Zero -- and "Hibachi!" which he would yell when shooting his jumper.

"It's an unfortunate incident," coach Eddie Jordan said. "As coaches in the NBA, you have to be prepared for what one of my old coaches use to call 'thunderbolts.' And I think we are prepared."

Thunderbolts, indeed. The Wizards have lost both of their All-Stars to injuries in less than a week. Caron Butler broke a bone in his hand in Sunday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks and is out for six weeks.
