Okay, so here’s the wild thing — just when you think the cosmos might be messing with you, it throws in a curveball and then switches gears. Last week, we were all biting our nails over 18-year-old Alijah Arenas, son of NBA veteran Gilbert Arenas, who had that harrowing Tesla Cybertruck crash in Los Angeles at the ungodly hour of 4:55 a.m. on a Thursday. Now, if you’re into astrology (and who isn’t these days?), that’s Mercury doing its classic glitch-in-the-matrix move, messing with communications and tech, which might explain why the news was so shaky and mysterious at first. But here’s the curveball — the young hoop legend woke up from his coma and got released from the hospital, bruised but fighting, like a true warrior of the stars.
Alijah’s no ordinary teen — ranked the fourth-best high school player in the country and the top shooting guard, he’s gearing up to light up USC courts soon. And while the details of his injuries are still behind a curtain, his fast bounce back has got everyone breathing a sigh of relief (and probably thanking whatever celestial bodies are now aligning in his favor). Makes you wonder: when life hands you a fiery crash, can you still shoot for the moon? Seems like Alijah’s answer is yes — with a little help from fate, family, and a fierce spirit.
So, let’s peek behind the scenes of this gripping tale, mix in some star power, and catch up on the latest because, hey, miracles do tend to happen under the right constellation.

We have wonderful news to report about the son of former NBA star Gilbert Arenas.
Last week, we reported that 18-year-old Alijah Arenas has crashed his Tesla Cybertruck while driving in Los Angeles around 4:55 a.m. on Thursday.
The situation looked grim at first, but now, ESPN and other outlets have confirmed that Alijas has emerged from his coma and been released from his coma.
One of the top high school basketball prospects in the country, Alijah recently committed to playing at USC after he graduates.
Alijah is currently ranked both the number four high school player and number one shooting guard in the country, and he recently signed a sponsorship deal with Adidas.
The exact nature of his injuries remains unclear, but the news of his rapid recovery is highly encouraging.
“We are grateful to share that Alijah Arenas has been released from the hospital and is now resting comfortably under close watch. While his journey to fulll recovery is just beginning, his spirit remains strong, and he is surrounded by love and support,” reads a statement released by Alijah’s family today.
“The Govan and Arenas family are preparing for the road ahead with faith and determination, committed to nurturing Alijah back to 100%. He remains blessed, resilient, and in high spirits.”
The family added that Alijah is “resting comfortably under close watch” and that his “spirit remains strong.”
In the wake of his accident, there was a lot of speculation and very few confirmed facts regarding Alijah’s condition.
“Five-star prospect and USC commit Alijah Arenas was involved in a serious car crash early Thursday morning, hospitalized and placed into an induced coma, sources tell ESPN,” senior NBA insider Shams Charania of ESPN reported.
According to TMZ, Alijah’s vehicle was “ablaze” when rescuers arrived, and the crash left it “completely mangled on the side of the road.”
Gilbert Arenas is a three-time NBA all-star, and he currently hosts the popular “Gil’s Arena” podcast.
“Our personalities are a little the same,” Alijah said of his dad during a recent interview. “I feel like that’s my dad’s dream too, that I could get to that level.”
“It’s very surprising watching him actually dive into the game, you know, physically, mentally,” Gilbert chimed in.
“Ain’t no days off … We get 3 [hundred or] 400 shots up before school,” Gilbert said of Alijah during a recent appearance on Paul George’s podcast.
“He’s coachable … depending on what day it is in the mornings we’ll get up at like 5:30 so he [practices] an hour and a half. [He goes to school, comes home and then] works out and we got lifting right after and then we got more shooting, more dribbling.”
We will have further updates on Alijah’s recovery as new information becomes available.
