Alijah Arenas is facing a tumultuous time, with injuries and legal troubles overshadowing his freshman year at USC. Recently, he was diagnosed with a torn meniscus, sidelining him for 6-8 months. His father, Gilbert Arenas, a former NBA star, is dealing with serious legal issues, having been arrested for running an illegal gambling operation. Gilbert was released on a $50,000 bond and awaits trial. Alijah, a five-star recruit in the class of 2025, had a challenging spring, recovering from a car accident, and was gearing up to make his debut for the Trojans before this latest setback.
