Sadly, it looks like Mike Jones has dug up some more evidence for the “Gilbert won’t be coming back this season” camp:

And the company line from Ernie Grunfeld is that Gilbert Arenas is coming back, but the growing sentiment in the locker room that it’s not going to happen.

“It doesn’t look like anybody’s coming back this year,” one player said. “Nobody. I don’t think so. I’d be surprised.”

Now, maybe that’s just an emotional reaction after a deflating loss against the Celtics, but it sure doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of hope in the locker room that Gilbert will be able to salvage what’s left of this season.
