Alijah Arenas, a USC basketball commit and son of ex-NBA star Gilbert Arenas, was placed into an induced coma after a car crash Thursday morning, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania .

Arenas, 18, was rushed to the hospital in Los Angeles after crashing his Tesla Cybertruck into a tree or fire hydrant, police told ESPN, leaving the vehicle “completely mangled on the side of the road,” per TMZ .

The outlet reports the car was “ablaze” when emergency responders were called to the scene at 4:55 a.m., with Arenas taken from the scene in “serious condition.”

Details regarding the crash are still emerging.

Arenas, an 18-year-old five-star college prospect out of Chatsworth High School in California, committed to the Trojans in January for the 2025-26 season, a decision he revealed on his father’s “Gil’s Arena” podcast.

A 6-foot-6 shooting guard, Arenas is described as “a versatile scoring threat” who is still growing, according to 247Sports , which predicts “significant long-term potential” for the teen phenom.

He received offers from Arizona — Gilbert’s alma mater — West Virginia, Alabama, Arizona State and California among a 20-school bonanza of offers for the McDonald’s All-American.

Earlier this month, Arenas inked a sponsorship deal with Adidas.

His father, Gilbert, was a three-time NBA All-Star and was named the league’s Most Improved Player in 2003.

Over a 12-season career spanning 5,522 games with Golden State, Washington, Orlando and Memphis, he averaged 20.7 points, 5.3 assists and 3.9 rebounds.
