TMZ's report suggested that the crash occurred due to excessive speeding, leading to Alijah Arenas' Tesla Cybertruck hitting a fire hydrant and a tree. Arenas made it out of the vehicle when the emergency responders arrived.

However, he had to be put in a medically induced coma because of smoke inhalation. Laura Govan and Gilbert Arenas posted a video showing Arenas looking over the gifts he received, thanking everybody on Thursday:

"I want to thank Jose, Bryant, and Robert for saving @alijah0arenas — he can’t wait to meet you guys. Truly grateful to everyone for the prayers, love, and support during his healing. Much love.

"Funny enough, Alijah told his boys way back: “If I’m ever in a coma, don’t bring flowers. Bust in rapping ‘I might swerve, bend that corner, woah’ by @gelo like it’s the national anthem.
"Because nothing screams perfect timing like saying ‘Swerve on that corner, woah’… right after you actually did. Into a tree. Into a hospital stay😮‍💨 🗣️WELCOME HOME ❤️," Gilbert Arenas captioned the post.

"So, let me explain. Just because I want you, for all the moms, who support moms, the real moms anyway. But this sh*t ain't no joke. You all have no idea the running around it takes and some of the things we do just to make sure that your kids are straight," said Govan.

She continued, "It's almost 2 A.M. East Coast time. And when I tell you, I've been running. I still got pickups at the airport, drop offs and everything else you could imagine. But yeah, man, when you all see moms doing their thing, not that I want a pat on my back, but for those who deserve a pat on their back, give it to them. It's needed. Some of us don't want a da*n cape, we want a nap. So be easy on the moms, the real ones."

Alijah Arenas will join Eric Musselman's side along with Jerry Easter next season.
