Arenas cleared to practice
Wizards Insider
Quote:
I've been cleared to practice and play," said Arenas. "Right now, it's just getting in shape. It's more mental. I'm actually scared to play right now. I think that's where we're at right now so I'm looking at it game by game. I think I'm scared to go out there right now. I just need to go through these practices and get my rhythm back. I'm still going to try and take it slow."
Still, Arenas said he is reluctant to push himself too quickly.
"I don't want to get hurt again," Arenas said. "Two injuries back-to-back kind of messes with a guy mentally. I took a long time, I rehabbed very well and I don't want another setback. Mentally, I don't want to go through that again. I'm just going to take it slow, work out with the team and just build up the confidence mentally."
The Wizards (29-30) have 23 games remaining and are currently in sixth-place in the Eastern Conference. Arenas has been playing games of one-on-one with teammates and has also run through plays with the coaching staff but has yet to go through a contact practice. Arenas said how the knee responds to practices will determine when he will return to game action"
