Izela is the daughter of NBA star Gilbert Arenas and celebrity Laura Govan. She is the sibling of No. 4(On3) high school basketball star Alijah Arenas. With Christmas just around the corner, Govan had urged both her daughters to hurry home with the following message:
"@hamileyarenas0 I need my girls...Hurry home please @izelaarenas hurry home please," she wrote.

Last year in November, Sierra Canyon's Izela Arenas committed to Louisville and officially entered the Cardinals roster this year under coach Jeff Walz. In November, Izela kicked off her first victory with the Cardinals against the Screaming Eagles with a 75-51 win. She smashed seven points, three rebounds, and one assist in 23 minutes.
Last month, she scored a career-high 11 points, three rebounds, two assists, and two blocks in 27 minutes, leading the Cardinals to a 79-71 win over Colorado.
On 13th December, against the Grambling Lady Tigers, she logged 13 points in 13 minutes with three rebounds and one assist, leading the Cardinals to a 96-57 win. For the 2024 season, Izela finished with 11 games, averaging 4.7 points, 1.5 rebounds and one assist.
During her time at Sierra Canyon, the former ESPN four-star prospect was ranked No. 88 by ESPNW HoopGurlz. In high school basketball, she won a CIF Open Championship, a CIF State Open Division championship, and an ESPN national championship.
Last year in May, Izela also bagged the prestigious Queen of the Court Title at the Overtime Elite Takeover after smashing four straight triples to end the game and win the top spot.
