NBA star Kyrie Irving has pledged $5.7 million to build a cutting-edge educational and rehabilitation facility for disabled youth in Dallas. The initiative, inspired by his own battle with injury and recovery following an ACL tear, aims to provide inclusive education, advanced therapy technologies, and mentorship programs for children with physical and cognitive disabilities.

Set to break ground later this year, the school will combine adaptive sports, STEM-focused academics, and mental wellness support. Irving, known for his philanthropy, said, “My recovery journey showed me how vital the right support and environment are. I want these kids to know they can thrive.”
The school will also partner with local hospitals and universities to offer internships, workshops, and ongoing support for families. Irving is set to personally mentor students and athletes, continuing his legacy off the court.
More announcements about staff, programs, and enrollment are expected in the coming months, as Irving aims to create a model that can be replicated nationwide.
