Alijah Arenas' mom Laura Govan makes emotional plea for son's recovery following horrific accident

Nothing is more painful for a mother to watch her child suffer, and sadly, Alijah Arenas' mother, Laura Govan, is going through that pain. After the horrific accident in Los Angeles, early Thursday morning, that left Alijah Arenas in a coma, his mother had an emotional plea for fans and followers.

Minutes ago, Govan took to her social media and pleaded with people to pray for her son.

Govan has been a supermom to her children. Since her separation from Gilbert Arenas, the NBA player and the father of Alijah, she has been the biggest influence on her children, even training them in basketball from an early age.

A few months ago, the proud mother was flaunting her son's commitment to USC after reclassification. She was in attendance supporting her son and even posed for a wholesome mother-son photo session.

According to TMZ, the emergency responders arrived at the scene at 4:55 a.m. However, when they arrived, the individuals in the vehicle had already made out. A part of the car had also caught fire.

The report stated that Gilbert Arenas' son was driving a Tesla Cybertruck and had sustained multiple serious injuries. However, according to ESPN's Shams Charania, Alijah Arenas did not suffer any fractures.
