Arenas: Surgery to reduce swelling of knee

Washington's franchise guard, Gilbert Arenas, has reportedly undergone another surgery on his left knee to remove swelling that has built up over the summer.

After a season spent mostly on the bench in street clothes, Arenas had a second surgery on his left knee and was dedicated to rehabilitating it slowly and making sure it was 100% come next year.

Swelling of the knee is commonplace after surgeries on athletes because a lot of pressure is put on the knee during the process of rehabilitation. 

The timetable in which Arenas will be playing again is unknown, but it is supposed to quicken the rehabilitation process. The team is extremely anxious to start getting him back into the swing of things and hopefully he comes back healthy and can contribute as well, or even more, as he did the few seasons before he has his surgery. 

The Wizards start their training camp on September 27 on the campus of Virginia Commonwealth University.
