Alijah Arenas' mom Laura Govan shares 3-word reaction to daughter Hamiley Arenas' clips of playing at Nike EYBL

With Alijah Arenas now home from the hospital, Hamiley Arenas and the rest of the Arenas and Govan families can now rest assured that the five-star USC signee is on the road to recovery. With their minds now a bit at ease, the rest of the family can now focus on basketball, especially mom Laura Govan.

NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas' wife, Laura, is currently the head coach of her youngest daughter's AAU squad, Why Not Premier 15U EYBL, and she could not help but be proud of Hamiley Arenas, even posting about her highlights during the Nike EYBL Session I in Phoenix, Arizona.

"@hamiley0arenas That's My baby," wrote Laura Govan in her Instagra story.

During the high school season, Hamiley Arenas led her team, the Notre Dame (Sherman Oaks) Knights, in points, rebounds, steals, and blocks, and she did it as a freshman. She averaged a double-double with 23.3 points. 10.5 rebounds, 2.8 steals, 3.1 assists, and 0.9 blocks per game. She is also second in her team in assists per game.

Despite her individual prowess, the freshman could not lead Notre Dame (Sherman Oaks) to the Southern Section and state playoffs, with the Knights only garnering a 12-16 overall record. The team was also 0-10 in their division.
