The teammates drew guns on each other during a Christmas Eve locker room argument over a gambling debt, according to The New York Post.

At a scheduled team practice today at the Verizon Center, Arenas refused to answer questions about the allegations. But when asked about the reports, he told ABC News affiliate WJLA, "I like the story, it's intriguing."
When asked if anything had transpired between him and Crittenden, Arenas said, "I don't know."
Later, Arenas' Twitter account had this posting: "i wake up this morning and seen i was the new JOHN WAYNE..lmao media is too funny."
