Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas won't return until after the All-Star Game with a possible return date of February 19 at Houston.

"I'm just going to wait until after All-Star, get 100 percent and come back and play," said Arenas, who indicated last week he would be back before the Feb. 15 All-Star Game in his hometown of Los Angeles. "No one is going to be happy if I come back too soon, so I'm just going to make everyone happy and come back after All-Star."

Arenas has missed 26 games this season with a severely strained abdomen.
