Looking a little like a baseball pitcher who had just worked too many long innings, Gilbert Arenas flexed, shook his right arm -- the one that has been responsible for a 30-point scoring average and helped the Washington Wizards charge into contention in the Eastern Conference -- and then grimaced.
"The shoulder is just hurting me a lot the last three games," Arenas said late Saturday night, after making 6 of 20 shots and scoring 17 points in a 93-80 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. "I don't know. When I go to shoot, everything feels like it's coming up short."
Arenas hurt the shoulder in a collision with Ruben Patterson during a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Dec. 30 and said he aggravated it during Friday's loss to the Hornets in Oklahoma City.
Arenas attributes his recent shooting woes to the sore shoulder and said following Saturday's loss -- Washington's fourth straight on the road -- that he needed a day or two of rest in order to feel like himself.

Well, at least it's reasonable why he was been on a slump lately. Just hopefully he gets well soon enough.
