While Gilbert Arenas is hinting at bolting Washington when his contract expires, the Wizards continue to go to bat for their star guard.

Arenas missed a court hearing Tuesday on a charge of resisting an officer without violence, and a warrant was briefly issued before the arraignment was rescheduled.

The Associated Press is reporting that the Wizards contacted the judge on Gilbert Arenas' behalf and told him the player didn't receive a written notice regarding the court date, Wizards president of basketball operations Ernie Grunfeld said in a statement.

Slom then lifted the arrest warrant, canceled the $2,000 bond and rescheduled the arraignment. A date has not been set. Slom said missed first court appearances and rescheduled arraignments are common, especially for people from out of state.

"We are very confident this issue will be resolved," Grunfeld said.
