In a recent Twitch stream with popular content creator Kai Cenat, Irving shared his plans to return to school and complete his college degree — a goal that reflects his desire for growth beyond basketball.
"Pretty soon, I’ll be back in school, bro, I’m gonna go get my degree," Irving said. "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."
Irving played just 11 games at Duke University before declaring for the NBA Draft in 2011. Though he left school early, the idea of returning to finish his education has stayed with him.
In 50 games for the Mavericks last season, he averaged 24.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 1.3 steals.
