Arenas, Crittenton to meet with Stern

Wizards guards Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton both are scheduled to be in New York this week to meet with NBA commissioner David Stern and are expected to soon learn their league punishment stemming from their Dec. 21 gun confrontation in the team locker room.

Crittenton reportedly met with Stern on Tuesday.

"I think we're all pretty much numb to the whole thing right now," said Wizards head coach Flip Saunders when asked prior to Washington's game against Los Angeles about Crittenton's guilty plea and sentencing on Monday. "We understand that it is what it is, and we knew it got to the point that it had gotten to that nothing good was going to come out of it."

Los Angeles guard Derek Fisher, the president of the National Basketball Players Association, said he understands the NBA will want to send a message but is also wary of the growing length of Arenas' currently indefinite suspension.

"To this point, it hasn't been overly concerning to us," said Fisher. "But it's creeping toward that area."
