Three-time NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas' ex-wife, Laura Govan, beamed with pride after her younger daughter, Hamiley Arenas, received an offer from the Arizona State Sun Devils. The Class of 2028 recruit impressed in her debut season at Notre Dame in Sherman Oaks, California.

Hamiley posted the news on her Instagram account on Tuesday.

"After having a great conversation with the Associate Head Coach Stephanie Norman @desertnormm . I am blessed to say I have received an offer from Arizona State University!! Thank you for believing me. #forksup🔱 #ᴀɢᴛɢ #godbless @sundevilwbb ♥️💛," Hamiley captioned the post.

Alijah Arenas' mom, Laura Govan, commented on the post with a two-word reaction. Gilbert Arenas' wife, Melli Monaco, also reacted to the post.

"Letssssssss Gooooooo 🔥🔥🔥🔥," commented Govan. "💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾," Monaco commented with three emojis.

Govan is also the head coach of Team Why Not 15U, the same team on which Hamiley Arenas plays. The American TV personality and actress shared two pictures of the team on her Instagram story in May.

"My babies," Laura Govan captioned her story and tagged Hamiley Arenas and the team with a pink heart emoji.

Arenas' performance was the silver lining for Notre Dame in an otherwise underwhelming season. The combo guard averaged a double-double, scoring 23.3 points, dishing out 3.1 assists, grabbing 10.5 rebounds, stealing the ball 2.8 times and recording 0.9 blocks per game in 25 games.

The Knights finished with a 12-16 record and failed to win a single game in the California Southern Section Mission Basketball League.

The videos were shared on X (formerly Twitter) by a user on May 30.

"Hamiley, welcome to the journey," an excerpt from the message read. "You're not just part of the future - you are the future. The next chapter in the LA Hoops legacy starts with you. We see the hunger. We see a leader in the making."

Arenas will now enter her sophomore year and will hope to follow in her siblings' Alijah and Izela Arenas' footsteps.
