Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving helped several HBCU students end 2020 on a high note.

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.

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving paid off the college tuition of nine students from an HBCU (Lincoln University) on Dec. 10 as part of his foundation’s 11 days of giving in December.

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.
