Top USC basketball recruit Alijah Arenas has been released from the hospital and is resting comfortably, his family announced in a statement Wednesday.
Arenas lost control of his Tesla Cybertruck just before 5 a.m. PDT Thursday as he was returning from the gym, according to Josiah Johnson, who co-hosts the “Gil’s Arena” podcast with Alijah Arenas’ father, former NBA player Gilbert Arenas. The car struck a fire hydrant and a tree on Corbin Avenue in Reseda and caught fire with Arenas inside. The player’s family said in a statement released Friday that “brave individuals” helped rescue Arenas from the burning vehicle.
