Alijah Arenas struggles in debut for USC after delays caused by car crash and knee injury

By The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Alijah Arenas struggled in his long-awaited debut for Southern California on Wednesday night against Northwestern after completing his recovery from a knee injury he sustained last summer following his recovery from a car crash last spring. Arenas had eight points in a 74-68 loss to the Wildcats as the Trojans fell to 14-5, 3-5 in the Big Ten. He played 29 minutes but shot just 3 for 15 from the floor, including 0 for 6 on 3-point attempts. He struggled at the free-throw line with a 2-for-6 effort. He also had two rebounds and two assists. The freshman guard's debut came one month after his return to practice for the Trojans. “It was great to have him back with the rest of the guys,” coach Eric Musselman said last month following Arenas' first practice. “He’s got such a great basketball IQ and brings a tremendous amount of energy. It looked like he had been a part of practice for quite some time.”
