Wizards to decide if Arenas will play before game

 Washington coach Flip Saunders says he will decide before the game if Gilbert Arenas will make his season debut against the New York Knicks.

Saunders said before the Wizards' shootaround Friday he wanted to see how Arenas looked in the morning workout, then how he felt later.
Arenas returned to practice Wednesday after missing the first three games with a strained tendon in his right ankle. He hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since Jan. 5, before he was suspended the rest of the season for bringing guns into the Verizon Center locker room.
With only one full practice in 2 1/2 weeks, Saunders says he wants to see if Arenas "has soreness, if he has explosiveness, just how he feels."
