NBA Rumors: Kyrie Irving’s next team will be the Nation Wide Souljas

Forget where Kyrie Irving will end up next season: Uncle Drew just wants to play ball.

The current Dallas Mavericks star faces a tumultuous few months ahead as he contemplates his future. He’s been rumored to join the Lakers, Rockets, and a select handful of other teams following his disappointing stint in Dallas.

After weeks of rumor-mongering and constant speculation, Irving may want to take his mind off of things and has announced he’s playing in the Drew League this summer.

The Drew League, based in L.A., is considered one of the premier pro-am leagues in the sport and has a long-established mission of teaching life lessons through basketball. Many famous NBA players have competed in the league in the past, including James Harden, Kevin Durant, Paul George, LeBron James, and others.

This summer, Irving will reportedly play for the Nation Wide Souljas in the Alvin Wills Division.

More than a decade after Irving first starred in those iconic Pepsi commercials, Uncle Drew is finally starring in the Drew League. How fitting.
