The usual suspects have also been rounded up. Eddie Jordan has been called in by D.C. Metro police under suspicion of knee abuse, but it'll be a hard charge to make stick since Gil himself was an accomplice if he did come back too quickly from his previous injury. The giant lobster that ominously follows Arenas through his latest shoe ads has been pulled in; he's definitely in hot water now. Even Jeff Gillooly née Stone has been detained for questioning.
In the end, though, it may not matter how it happened. There's plenty of worries in the present tense. Gil's got a month to stew at home without any stress on the knee, thinking about his other recent fracture with the mother of his children. The puckish playfulness that Gil normally brings to all the good NBA girls and boys may be extinguished as he struggles through despised rehab a second time. (Maybe he'll take it more seriously this time.)
Here's hoping Gil comes out the other side hearty, hale, and phenomenal while suppressing the urge to rush back and prove his worth as he opts out of his contract for free agent dollars (likely from the Wizards). Until then, NBA fans will turn their attention to his replacement, Antonio Daniels. Surely Antonio will bring many hours of entertainment to fans and teammates alike.
Oh, God. Come back soon, Agent Zero. Hurry.

But Antonio Daniels is a BGSU alum, so he'll be able to seamlessly transition the Wizards' offen...
...hurry back, Agt. Aught.

Is it just me, or does the NBA suck more now than pretty much ever?
My fond memories of the NBA include Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, the "Bad Boys," the "Jordan Rules," the double dose of Chicago Bulls three-peats, with Hakeem Olajuwon's Houston Rockets sandwiched in between, Shaq and Kobe in another three-peat, Ben Wallace and the Pistons shocking the Lakers in the Finals, and the Spurs being really good for a really long time.
It seems like now all we're left with is LeBron James, an unhinged lunatic owner of the Dallas Mavericks, an obnoxious, obese and gibberish-spewing Charles Barkley giving post-game "analysis" on TNT, and that's about it.
Am I wrong?

Yeah, this ain't the golden age for sure.
You forgot mind numbingly selfish wannabe-be "businessmen" thugs.
Then again, the Spurs seem to be a team that would have fit in nicely during the 80s and 90s during the Bulls run. Yet, the media finds them to "boring." Tim Duncan does not have the glamour (that's to hype) the media or maybe even the NBA are looking for. Go figure.
