Gilbert Arenas, who had has his battles with LeBron James in the past couple of seasons, says he will play when his Washington Wizards host the Cleveland Cavaliers this season on Thursday, Apr. 2 and Wednesday, Apr. 8.

Arenas has been out all season, but will make his season debut tomorrow night against the Detroit pistons.

Last season, the Wizards played Cleveland in the first round of the playoffs, and Arenas and his fellow teammate Deshawn Stevenson were criticized for talking trash and tugging on LeBron James' cape in the playoffs.

The Wizards lost the series, and were bounced out of the playoffs three straight years in a row to Cleveland. However, Arenas indicated that Cleveland only really beat Washington one year. With regard to the other two, Arenas stated, ''They just have been beating on some hurt dogs."

Arenas, who signed his $111 million dollar contract this summer, has yet to play a single second on the court.
