Basketball’s Phenom Alija Arena rolled to the ground in a huge puddle just after being torn off the burning Tesla Cybertock obtained by TMZ Sports.
The clip was recorded by a neighbor. Neighbors say they heard a crash fall occurring outside their home in the San Fernando Valley, LA, around 5am on Thursday.
Witnesses say he ran and saw flames thrust into the inside of the burning vehicle.
Alija is said to be what we are saying. By the time a good Samaritan reached him, he was shirtless and had no shoes, but was pulled from the ride and placed on the road a few yards away from the accident. You can see him lying clearly in pain while he clearly tries to hold his breath.

Witnesses say some time later, the 18-year-old high school basketball genius was placed on a stretcher and taken to a nearby hospital.
Authorities said Thursday that he was transported in “stable condition” but no further medical updates were given.

Alija, the son of former NBA Superstar Gilbert Arena, is a five-star recruit who committed to USC earlier this year. He averaged 31 points and 7.8 rebounds, which made him very impressive, he told us earlier this month.
Gilbert was scheduled to do his “Gil’s Arena” podcast on Thursday, but was cancelled after news of the crash broke. Meanwhile, Alijah’s mom, Laura Govan, posted on her Instagram later on Thursday, “I need all youre (sic) f***en prayers.”
