Gilbert Arenas won't face lifetime ban from NBA for pleading guilty to carrying a pistol

Gilbert Arenas isn't going to get a lifetime suspension from the NBA.

The Wizards star guard is expected to learn of his suspension in the coming days for breaking the league's gun rules and pleading guilty to carrying a pistol in Washington, D.C. While giving Arenas, who is currently on an indefinite suspension without pay, a permanent ban was seen as a way to prevent a potential tragedy involving players and guns, he won't be thrown out for good, according to league sources.

Speculation has Arenas, 28, being sidelined for the rest of this season and all of next season. That would be contested by the NBA Players Association.
