Irving Returns To School To Take Classes During Lockout

The NBA’s top overall pick, Kyrie Irving, has returned to Duke University to continue his education while the league continues its labor dispute, reports CBS.

Irving, 19, left Duke for the NBA after playing just one year with the Blue Devils. The point guard, however, promised his father when he made the decision to leave school that he would work to earn his college degree within five years of his departure. With no end in sight for the NBA lockout, Irving decided to take the opportunity to start living up to his promise.
