Golden State (14-16) at Washington (8-21) 7:00 pm EST

WASHINGTON (Ticker) -- Gilbert Arenas faces his former team for
the first time on Friday night when the Washington Wizards meet
the Golden State Warriors.

Arenas was a second-round pick of Golden State who saw limited
action his rookie season. He had quite a different second year,
averaging 18.3 points, before opting to leave to sign with
Washington as a free agent.

Unfortunately, Arenas has gone through an injury-plagued
campaign for the Wizards, who are already without Jerry
Stackhouse. Arenas missed 14 of the last 15 games with an
abdominal injury before being activated for Monday's loss to
Atlanta.

The Wizards dropped their fifth straight with Monday's 83-73
loss. Arenas finished with 14 points on 5-of-19 shooting as
Washington matched a franchise record with only two wins in
December.

Golden State opened a four-game road trip with Wednesday's
dismal 88-70 loss at New Jersey. Jason Richardson scored 16
points as the Warriors were a woeful 3-of-16 from the arc.

The Warriors are 4-10 on the road. They swept both meetings
with the Wizards last season.
