Attorney: Javaris Crittenton to surrender

An attorney says former NBA player Javaris Crittenton plans to surrender to authorities to face charges in a deadly shooting in Atlanta.

Crittenton was most recently with the Washington Wizards. The NBA suspended him after he and teammate Gilbert Arenas said they brought guns into the locker room.

Attorney Brian Steel said Monday that Crittenton will be leaving Los Angeles and should arrive in Atlanta early Tuesday.

Steel says Crittenton is innocent. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution first reported details of the planned surrender.
