Arenas 'Up Walking Around' at Home

ATLANTA, April 13 -- DeShawn Stevenson recently dropped in on injured guard Gilbert Arenas at Arenas's Washington area home to get a new tattoo on his right hand. He said his teammate and good friend is struggling to adapt to life off his feet.

Arenas, who underwent surgery to repair his left meniscus on April 5, has been recovering at home and has yet to make an appearance at Verizon Center. Neither Arenas nor Caron Butler (broken bone in right hand) has traveled with the team.

"It's hard for him to sit still," Stevenson said. "He's up walking around, playing video games -- he has too much energy to just sit around all day."

Stevenson said Arenas is still frustrated over the freakish nature of the injury and has no immediate plans to attend games.

"No way," Stevenson said. "He's still mad about getting hurt."

Jordan Keeps Focus on Winning

With a playoff spot secured, Coach Eddie Jordan said he has no preference for a first-round opponent. Going into last night's games, the sixth-place Wizards would play third-place Toronto.

"We're trying to win a game or two or three or four to gain some momentum," Jordan said. "And we want to see what works for us and what is good for us this time next week. And we'd like to have a winning record. That's an incentive. You'd like to have a winning record at the end of 82 games."
