Share

LOS ANGELES -- Alijah Arenas has practiced for the first time with Southern California's basketball team as he continues recovering from a knee injury he suffered last summer.

"It feels great to be back," Arenas said. "I've been longing for it. I'm not getting off the court now."

The freshman guard has been meeting with the coaching staff daily to learn USC's plays and discuss strategy while rehabbing. The knee injury, diagnosed in July, required surgery.
