As first reported by Stadium and The Athletic basketball reporter Shams Charania, Irving paid off college debt for students at Lincoln University (Pa.) through his charitable foundation.

This hasn’t been the first time the NBA superstar has provided assistance to those in need.

In March, at the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, Irving donated $323,000 and launched a campaign to help distribute meals to those in need throughout the greater New York area.
