NBA sons Alijah Arenas and Bryce James to feature in California state championships

The 2025 California state championships are scheduled to take place on Friday and Saturday at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento. Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas' son, Alijah Arenas, will be leading the Chatsworth Chancellors as they face Jesuit High School in their state finals game on Saturday.

In the same vein, NBA legend LeBron James' son Bryce James will feature for Sierra Canyon in their final against Stockton Lincoln on Friday.

Bryce will make his first appearance in a California state title game. The last time Sierra Canyon made it to the final was in the 2019/2020 season, but couldn't play due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

For Arenas, this final is another shot at the state title. Last year, his 44-point performance wasn't enough as Chatsworth fell 74-66 to Monterey in the Division IV final. Hopefully, they will be able to get past the Jesuit marauders this year.
