Alijah Arenas, a five-star USC commit and son of former Washington Wizards star Gilbert Arenas, was reportedly placed in a medically-induced coma after a car crash early Thursday, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.
Alijah, a 6-foot-6 guard from Chatsworth High School in Calif., is considered one of the best prospects of the class of 2025. He considered offers from a number of schools, including Kansas and Kentucky, before committing to USC in January.
His excellent high-school performance earned Alijah a spot in the McDonald's All-American Game in April. Alijah scored 11 points for the West, helping lead the team to a 105-92 victory over the East.
