One of the best high school players and the son of the legendary Gilbert Arenas, Alijah Arenas, had a serious car accident.
After the collision, he was taken to the hospital in serious condition and was placed in an induced coma. So far stable, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
This news echoed throughout the US, and many were shocked by this outcome. Alijah is one of the greatest talents in American basketball, with the potential to make a great career.
According to Shams Charania, Arenas hit a tree and a fire hydrant in a Tesla cybertrak car at 04:55 in the morning, which caused a fire.
Tests performed on young Arenas show that he did not suffer any fractures, so it is not clear the real reason for putting him in an induced coma, which medics use to protect the body of the injured from shock.
But there is no doubt that he has a great life's struggle ahead of him. Absence from the basketball court is the least of his and his family's problems.
The son of the famous Gilbert has enormous basketball potential, he is ranked as the 13th player in the United States when we talk about high school, and he has already chosen to play for the famous University of Southern California.
The experts predicted a great career for him, but for the beginning, let's hope that the basketball player wakes up from his coma and makes everyone happy.
Reactions
Basketball fans reacted via social media, hoping that the young basketball player will emerge victorious from this battle and return to the basketball courts. There are difficult moments ahead of him, but it is to be hoped that Alijah can win this time as well, just like on the floors many times before.
His father, Gilbert Arenas, spent 12 years in the NBA, playing from 2001 to 2013. The 43-year-old was selected in the draft as the 31st overall pick, and during his career he played for big clubs such as the Golden State Warriors, Washington Wizards, Orlando Magic, Memphis Grizzlies, and Shanghai Sharks.
He was a three-time NBA All-Star and scored 11,402 points in his career.
