Agent Zero is making a comeback. Sort of. 

The Big3 announced Thursday that former Wizards star Gilbert Arenas has signed to play in the 3-on-3 league this summer. The 37-year-old hasn’t played in the NBA since 2012, but the Big3 features many former players.

Arenas played with the Wizards from 2003 to 2010. The three-time All-Star was once an explosive, exciting player, but injuries and a high-profile gun incident inside the Wizards’ locker room derailed his career. 

The Big3 was founded in 2017 and is entering its third season. The three-on-three basketball league will expand to 12 teams this season and play two nights per week. Rapper and celebrity Ice Cube is a co-founder of the league. 

Arenas will enter the league’s draft pool.
