Daughter of Wizards great Gilbert Arenas commits to new college basketball team in transfer portal image

Gilbert Arenas has remained in the basketball consciousness due to his outspokenness on podcasts.

It's easy to forget just how good Arenas was in his prime as Agent Zero, starring for the Washington Wizards in the NBA.

He's been gone for a while, though. And his daughter is now a Division I college hooper.

Izela Arenas spent her first college season at Louisville, where she averaged 4.2 points per game.

She entered the transfer portal after the season, though, and has now found a new home.

Izela will be enrolling at Kansas State to play in the Big 12.

At 5-foot-9, Izela brings a strong shooting touch, making 38 percent from deep with the Cardinals.

In a Feb. 27 game against Clemson, Izela put up 14 points in 22 minutes.

The Wildcats have had an exciting offseason, sparked by the signing of five-star incoming freshman Jordan Speiser.

K-State went 28-8 in 2024-25, including 13-5 in the Big 12. The Wildcats made it to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament before falling by six points to USC.

Izela Arenas will now get to be a part of their winning ways.
