Alijah Arenas Reveals He'll Sign Adidas Contract, 5-star SG Is Son of Gilbert Arenas

Alijah Arenas is looking to follow in his father's footsteps and eventually make the NBA.

But the son of Gilbert Arenas is first following in the former NBA player's footsteps with Adidas.

TMZ Sports reported Sunday that the younger Arenas revealed he is signing an endorsement contract with Adidas. Gilbert Arenas, who played in the NBA from 2001 through 2012 for the Golden State Warriors, Washington Wizards, Orlando Magic and Memphis Grizzlies, had a signature shoe and endorsement deal with Adidas during his career.

TMZ noted there was no word on the monetary figures for Alijah Arenas' contract.

The McDonald's All-American committed to USC in January during an episode of his father's podcast:

He is a 5-star prospect and the No. 7 overall player and No. 1 shooting guard in the 2025 recruiting class, per 247Sports' composite rankings. Arenas is part of a strong overall class for the Trojans that also includes 4-star prospects Jerry Easter and Elzie Harrington.

According to 247Sports' composite rankings, USC's class is ranked No. 8 in the country.

Alijah Arenas impressed during the McDonald's All-American game with his outside shooting with multiple three-pointers as he helped lead the West team to a victory.

The elder Arenas was best known for his time on the Wizards, as he was a three-time All-Star and three-time All-NBA selection during his tenure with the Eastern Conference team.

His son, though, doesn't have to wait until he is in the NBA to land a contract with Adidas in the current name, image and likeness era of college sports.
