Dallas Mavericks star guard Kyrie Irving has been off the NBA floor since suffering a torn ACL in March earlier this year against the Sacramento Kings.
The former no. 1 overall pick out of Duke has managed to keep the fans entertained in his absence, however, which has included live streams of him playing video games, reacting to highlights in his career, amongst other things.
However, recently, in a stream with popular Twitch content creator Kai Cenat, the former Blue Devil announced a more personal goal off the court that he would like to accomplish, one that you simply have to give him props for wanting to achieve.
“”Pretty soon, I’ll be back in school, bro, I’m gonna go get my degree,” Irving said to Cenat. “For me, I want to participate in a lot of the larger conversations. I want to be able to not only just read my contracts, but I want to be able to help others. I want to be able to give you sound advice that comes from not just lived experience, but from education.”
Given that Irving only spent one year at the Durham, NC school before heading to the NBA, it makes sense for the guard to want to finish out his education.
Whether it’s at Duke or at another school, that information remains up in the air, it will be interesting to see whether Irving goes through with his goal, as his return currently is predicted to be in January of 2026.
