A player from Dallas generously contributed $26,000 towards a kidney transplantation

Dallas Mavericks basketball player, Kyrie Irving, donated $26,000 for a kidney transplant, as reported by journalist Landon Thomas.

It was revealed that the player covered the fundraising goal with a single donation organized by the family of Andrew Dzifa Amuzu on the GoFundMe platform. The kidney transplant operation required $25,000, and Kyrie sent $26,000. It is noted that the patient had very little time left, so the operation had to be performed urgently.

Incidentally, Irving is no stranger to financially assisting those in need. Last year, he donated over $20,000 to a student who lacked the funds to pay for their education at Harvard.

Irving was selected as the first overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers. In his debut season with the Cavs, Irving, averaging 18.5 points and 5.4 assists per game, was recognized as the Rookie of the Year. During his NBA career, Kyrie participated in the All-Star Game eight times, winning the MVP title in 2014, and also made the All-NBA Team three times.

Internationally, Irving represents the USA basketball team, winning the World Championship and being named the MVP of the 2014 World Championship.
