USC's Alijah Arenas Recovers After Fiery Car Crash

USC basketball recruit Alijah Arenas, a five-star prospect and the son of former NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas, is recovering after a serious April car crash involving his Tesla Cybertruck. The accident was caused by a steering malfunction that locked the wheel, resulting in a fiery collision. Arenas was hospitalized and placed in a medically induced coma due to smoke inhalation but was released within a week and has since resumed workouts. He publicly thanked the Good Samaritans who rescued him and took personal responsibility for the crash. Both Arenas and USC coach Eric Musselman have emphasized the strong support and resilience shown throughout his recovery. Arenas' return to full team activities now depends solely on resolving academic eligibility issues.
