Duke University point guard announced on Wednesday that he will forgo the rest of his collegiate eligibility and enter the upcoming NBA Draft.
Irving, 19, missed 26 games this season while battling a sever ligament injury in his right toe. The injury, which Irving suffered on Dec. 8, caused him to miss the rest of the regular season.
Irving returned in time for the NCAA tournament and was a force for the Blue Devils, scoring 28 points off of the bench in the Blue Devils season-ending loss to Arizona in the Sweet Sixteen.
In 11 collegiate games, Irving averaged 17.5 points and 4.3 assists per game and Duke was 10-1 in game that Irving played. He is the one of the highest rated prospects in the nation for the upcoming draft.
Along with Irving, Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith, both seniors, will also not be with the program next season.
