David Stern’s Gag Order on the Gilbert Arenas Gun Incident

The Commissioner doesn’t want anyone in Washington talking about Arenas’ gaffe. From the WaPo: “NBA Commissioner David Stern spoke with Arenas on Tuesday to express his excitement about having Arenas back in the league after the lengthy banishment, and he told Arenas he can talk about anything going forward – except the infamous dispute last December involving guns. Stern later called Wizards owner Ted Leonsis to inform him public comments from the organization about the situation are also off limits. Stern wants Arenas and the Wizards to put it all behind them. ‘It’s time to move on, rather than obsess about the past,’ Stern said in a telephone interview on Wednesday. ‘It’s just that it’s been discussed, and discussed, and discussed. It’s been written about, and written about, and written about on each occasion – his release, his sentencing, my ruling or what have you – and at some point, it’s time to move on. I think he’s entitled to do that. And I’m supportive of him. We’re lucky he’s well and we like the way he’s worked with various groups over the summer. And we think it’s time. Millions and millions of dollars later, and a new season later, I think it’s time to move on. And that’s what I told him.'”
