Govan, who shares four children with ex-husband Gilbert Arenas, has often showcased her daughter's skills on the court.

Arenas made her debut in Louisville’s basketball game against Southern Indiana on Friday, Nov. 8. She played 23 minutes, scoring seven points, securing three rebounds, and delivering one assist, to help Louisville secure a dominant 75-51 win.

Prior to her debut, Arenas was a four-star prospect, ranking 88th in the top 100, according to ESPN. The young guard chose to play her collegiate career at Louisville after turning down offers from the Oregon Ducks, Arizona Wildcats and the Iowa State Cyclones.

However, Arenas' debut for Louisville was far from smooth as she saw little game time during the Cardinals' 66-59 defeat to the UCLA Bruins. She played for only 10 minutes and scored a 3-pointer.

Arenas is currently averaging 4.6 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists off the Cardinals' bench.

Next, the Cardinals take on Grambling State Tigers on Friday, Dec. 13.
