Kyrie Irving Plans College Return While Rehabbing Injury
So, here’s something you might not have expected from an NBA star—Kyrie Irving is going back to school. Yeah, that’s right. While he’s still recovering from a torn ACL he suffered back in March during a game against the Kings, Kyrie’s not just been sitting around or staying out of the spotlight. He’s actually been keeping fans entertained with livestreams, including gaming sessions and career highlight reactions. But recently, during a Twitch stream with none other than Kai Cenat, Kyrie dropped a different kind of update—he’s planning to finish his college degree.
He told Kai, and I’m paraphrasing here, “I’m going back to school, bro. I want to get my degree.” And it wasn’t just a casual thought—he really seems committed to it. He mentioned wanting to have a seat at larger conversations, not just from personal experience but with the added weight of education. He said he wants to be able to read his own contracts, give advice, and just be more informed in general. He even brought up subjects like political science, psychology, and economics—so clearly, he’s not just doing this for show.

Now, if you remember, Kyrie only spent one year at Duke before jumping into the NBA, so it makes sense he’d still have that educational goal hanging out there. In fact, he once made a promise to his dad that he’d eventually get that degree, even if he went pro early. And while life obviously got busy—especially with the whole NBA superstar thing—it seems like he’s finally making space for it.
What’s also interesting is that Kyrie didn’t say if he’s going back to Duke or enrolling somewhere else, and he didn’t give a timeline. But with his return to the court projected for early 2026, he’s got some flexibility. And honestly, with the Mavs locking him in on a three-year, $119 million contract and building a promising core with guys like Cooper Flagg and Anthony Davis, he can take this time to invest in himself off the court.
It’s just cool to see an athlete use downtime like this to grow in ways that have nothing to do with basketball. Kyrie’s always been a thinker and someone who challenges the norm, so this move kind of tracks. Whether or not he finishes the degree in one go, the fact that he’s prioritizing it at this point in his career? That’s worth some respect.
