Alijah Arenas Expected to Leave Hospital After Car Accident Recovery

USC basketball commit Alijah Arenas, son of former NBA star Gilbert Arenas, is making a strong recovery after a serious car accident last week left him in a medically induced coma. The accident, involving a Tesla Cybertruck crash and resulting in severe smoke inhalation, initially put Arenas in serious condition, but he did not suffer any major injuries or broken bones. Within days, Arenas regained consciousness, began walking and talking, and is expected to be released from the hospital soon, according to updates from his family and podcast co-host Josiah Johnson. His family has expressed gratitude for the support received during his recovery. Arenas, a highly ranked five-star recruit, remains committed to USC, and while his exact timeline for a return to the court is unclear, optimism surrounds his full rehabilitation. The incident has highlighted Arenas' resilience and the strong backing he has from both the USC community and his supporters.
