or lead possibly to having his contract terminated.

From the NBA:

A team can terminate a player's contract if he is deemed to have engaged in acts of "moral turpitude", whether or not such actions actually constitute a crime. However, a source with the player's union said Thursday that it would be extremely unlikely for the Wizards to successfully go after Arenas based on the moral turpitude clause.

NBA Commissioner David Stern suspended Arenas indefinitely Jan. 6, saying that the 28-year-old former All-Star was "not currently fit to take the court in an NBA game." The league is conducting its own investigation into the incident, but has been waiting until the legal process was completed before deciding whether or not to punish Arenas further.
