Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas is increasing the intensity of his workouts in an attempt to return this season from knee surgery.

The All-Star guard had an MRI on his surgically repaired left knee Monday. He underwent surgery Nov. 21.

“They said everything healed,” Arenas said before Washington played Atlanta Monday night. “They want me to ramp it back up - go full speed.”

Arenas said he would work out Monday night, and see how it feels Tuesday.
