Stern Says Arenas "Not Currently Fit" For NBA David Stern's swift suspension of Gilbert Arenas sends notice to all NBA players that any conduct threatening the league's image will not be tolerated. While the league initially indicated it would wait to decide on Arenas' fate after violating NBA rules by bringing firearms into the Wizards' locker room, the NBA commissioner changes course less than 24 hours after Agent Zero makes light of the situation before a game in Philadelphia. When Arenas can return remains to be seen, and Stern's ruling could clear the way for the Wizards to void their former star's contract. Meanwhile, the NBA yesterday briefly forces Getty Images to pull the infamous photo of Arenas joking with teammates and making finger guns prior to Tuesday’s game. The suspension certainly marks an end to Arenas' once-bright marketing prospects.
