Alijah Arenas has endured an absolutely miserable year
Last week, Arenas was arrested on charges of running an illegal gambling business. Per The Athletic, he was released on a $50,000 bond, with a trial date set for September 23.
Arenas played in the NBA from 2001-2012 with four different teams. His best years came with the Washington Wizards, when he was named an all-star in 2005, 2006, and 2007.
His son, Alijah, was a five-star in the class of 2025 who signed with the Trojans earlier this year. Back in April, the younger Arenas was involved in a car crash that left him in the hospital for nearly a week. He had returned to practicing with the Trojans earlier this summer, and was on track to suit up this fall before the meniscus injury that has put his season in jeopardy.
This has been a Murphy's Law year for Alijah Arenas. Surely it can't get worse than this.

'Essentially Epstein Island:' law firm calls for federal probe into L.A. County sex abuse
A prominent law firm suing L.A. County over childhood sexual abuse is pushing for a federal investigation into how so many children were harmed on the government's watch. The county agreed in April to a $4 billion settlement to resolve roughly 7,000 cases of sexual abuse inside the county's juvenile detention facilities and foster homes dating back decades. But attorney John Manly, who has about 200 cases against the county, said despite the eye-popping sum, there's still no clear picture of who is responsible for the rampant abuse. No one has been criminally charged since the deluge of cases began. 'This is essentially Epstein Island being supervised by Los Angeles County probation officers,' said Manly, referring to Jeffrey Epstein, the notorious financier who died by suicide while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. 'It's shocking, and there's no outrage, none, zero. It's like, 'Oh yeah, okay, we'll just take $4 billion of public money and we'll settle, and then it'll be gone.' No, we want answers.' Manly served as lead counsel for victims abused by USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar and former USC gynecologist George Tyndall. His firm, Manly, Stewart & Finaldi, is one of several firms that are not part of the L.A. County settlement. The first trial for his cases is set to begin this month. In a letter addressed to U.S. Atty. Bill Essayli, Manly wrote that he wanted to see the U.S. Attorney's Office conduct an 'immediate investigation' into any federal crimes committed by staff within the L.A. County Probation Department, which is responsible for overseeing the juvenile facilities where much of the alleged abuse took place. 'The sad and unbelievable truth is these camps were dens of sexual predation where LA County probation officers in charge of helping these children get on track turned them into human sex toys,' the Aug. 4 letter stated. 'The lack of interest in prosecution of those literally engaged in a massive human trafficking operation where thousands of vulnerable children were savaged sexually reeks of politics, corruption and a malignant indifference to the children.' The U.S. Attorney's Office declined to comment. The deluge of litigation against the county is rooted in a change in state law, known as AB 218, which gave victims of childhood sexual abuse a new window to sue their abuser. Since then, the county, along with many school districts, have been flooded with lawsuits, some dating back to the 1950s. A county spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The county has said in the past they've taken many steps to try to prevent abuse in recent years, including strengthening the vetting of foster parents and probation staffers and winding down the use of group homes, where some of the alleged abuse took place. County officials have said it has been nearly impossible to defend themselves against these cases because many of the records were discarded long ago. Prosecuting those cases has been similarly difficult, as many victims, who were children at the time of the abuse, never knew the first names of their abusers. The perpetrators are usually identified in the lawsuits as some variation on John Doe, with few identifying details. Since the flood of lawsuits began, county officials referred only two of the cases to the District Attorney's Office for investigation: Altovise Abner, a probation supervisor who was investigated for having sex with a minor at a camp in 2006, and Thomas Jackson, a former probation official who was accused by more than two dozen women of sexually abusing them when they were minors. Jackson resigned in 2023 after three decades with the county. The cases against both were outside the statute of limitations, according to a memo by the DA's office explaining the decision not to prosecute.

Former Miami Heat security officer charged with selling $2M in stolen jerseys
MIAMI (AP) — A former Miami Heat security officer accused of selling stolen jerseys and other memorabilia worth millions of dollars made his initial appearance in federal court on Tuesday. Marcos Thomas Perez, 62, of Miami, was charged with transporting and transferring stolen goods in interstate commerce. A joint announcement from the Southern District of Florida and the Miami FBI said law enforcement executed a search warrant at Perez's residence on April 3 and seized about 300 stolen game-worn jerseys and other valuable memorabilia. The Heat confirmed the items had been stolen from their facility. The charging document said Perez sold the items to online brokers. Over a three-year period, authorities say Perez sold more than 100 stolen items for approximately $2 million and shipped them across state lines, often at bargain prices. They say Perez sold a Miami Heat jersey worn by LeBron James during the NBA Finals for approximately $100,000. That same jersey later sold at a Sotheby's auction for $3.7 million. Perez, a 25-year retired veteran of the Miami Police Department, worked for the Heat from 2016 to 2021 and as an NBA security employee from 2022 to 2025. Perez worked on the game-day security detail at the Kaseya Center. He was among just a few employees with access to a secured equipment room that stored memorabilia the organization intended to display in a future team museum. The documents say Perez accessed the equipment room to steal, in all, more than 400 game-worn jerseys and other items. ___ AP NBA:

Boston Celtics deal recently-acquired Georges Niang to Utah Jazz, sign free agent forward Chris Boucher
The Boston Celtics are sending recently-acquired forward Georges Niang and two future second-round picks to the Utah Jazz for rookie wing RJ Luis Jr., according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Niang, who previously played in Utah from 2017-21, returns to the Jazz, and his more than $8 million salary goes into the Jazz's massive trade exception from the John Collins deal, giving the Celtics more financial breathing room under the second apron, Charania reported Tuesday. Collins was part of a three-team trade between the Jazz, Miami Heat and Los Angeles Clippers earlier this summer that sent the veteran forward from Utah to LA, where Norman Powell left for Miami in the same transaction. In return, the Jazz received Kevin Love, Kyle Anderson, a 2027 second-round Clippers draft pick and a trade exception that paved the way for Utah to create a lucrative bargaining chip. In other words, the Jazz had financial flexibility to take on a traded player and their salary, granting another team cap relief — in this case, the Celtics — in exchange for future draft assets as well. In addition to dumping Niang's salary, the Celtics received an intriguing prospect in Luis. The 6-foot-7, 215-pound wing is the reigning Big East Player of the Year, who went undrafted despite an impressive final season at St. John's, where he averaged 18.2 points and 7.2 rebounds per game for a Red Storm team that won 31 games and was a No. 2 seed in this year's NCAA Tournament. Luis signed a two-way deal with the Jazz but now will try to carve out a role in Boston. The Celtics are also signing free agent forward Chris Boucher to a one-year, $3.3 million guaranteed contract, Charania reported Tuesday. Boucher was the Raptors' last remaining member of their 2019 NBA title team. While never averaging more than 13.6 points and 6.7 rebounds per game in a single season of his seven-season Raptors career, he leaves Toronto as the franchise's all-time leader in points, rebounds, blocks, minutes and games played off the bench. Boston's moves Tuesday continue the franchise's offseason of payroll shedding. Last month, Celtics resident of basketball operations Brad Stevens explained that his team needed to get out of the second apron, a financial threshold for front offices that limits how much a team can spend above the NBA's soft salary cap and luxury tax line without facing the highest level of penalties. The Celtics had been dealing with those financial and basketball-related penalties the past two seasons while going all in on their championship pursuit, which delivered the franchise's 18th NBA title in 2024. Getting under the second apron was the Celtics' motive behind trading guard Jrue Holiday and center Kristaps Porziņģis. Niang ended up in Boston because of the Porziņģis deal with the Atlanta Hawks. Now he's gone before he played a single game with the Celtics. Boston is $7.8 million below the second apron after trading Niang and bringing aboard Boucher, per ESPN, which also reported the Celtics saved $34 million in luxury tax penalties with those transactions.
