Alijah Arenas — the teenage baller with buckets of talent and a last name that screams NBA royalty — was seriously hurt in a wild car crash early Thursday morning in Los Angeles. And get this — the ride? A Tesla Cybertruck. Yeah, that one. The armored beast Elon keeps flexing.
According to LAPD, the crash went down around 4:55 AM. The truck — registered to his dad, former NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas — smashed into a tree and fire hydrant… then caught fire. Yep, the whole thing lit up like a Fast & Furious stunt gone wrong.
Alijah, just 18 and fresh off a commitment to USC, was found outside the wreckage and rushed to the hospital. He’s now in a medically induced coma, but doctors say — miraculously — no broken bones. Scary, but silver lining? He’s stable.
No drugs. No alcohol. Just a brutal wreck and a shaken sports world.
This kid’s no average baller, either. Alijah’s been tearing it up on the court — five-star recruit, McDonald’s All-American, and a future Trojan. He even reclassified from the 2026 class to 2025 just to speed things up. Talk about hustle.
Gilbert and Alijah’s mom, Basketball Wives alum Laura Govan, are asking for prayers — and the support’s already pouring in.
