Javaris Crittenton Invited to Bobcats Training Camp

Filed under: NBA Rumors, NBA TransactionsCHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- The Charlotte Bobcats will bring Javaris Crittenton to training camp with a non-guaranteed contract, giving the ex-Washington Wizards point guard a chance to return to the NBA following his infamous gun altercation with Gilbert Arenas.

Crittenton didn't play last season because of an ankle injury and then served a 38-game suspension after he and Arenas acknowledged bringing guns into the locker room following a dispute stemming from a card game on a team flight.

The 22-year-old Crittenton pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor gun charge Jan. 25 and received probation. He wasn't re-signed by the Wizards.

Agent Mark Bartelstein said Wednesday he's had discussions with Bobcats coach Larry Brown and general manager Rod Higgins throughout the summer about the 6-foot-5 Crittenton, who has recovered following left ankle surgery. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
