Kidd-Gilchrist sent out a tweet confirming their scholastic plans.
Considering that in 2009 Debbie Rothstein Murman, the director for career development for the NBA Players Association, said that only 21 percent of all then-current NBA athletes had received their undergraduate degrees contrasted with the large percentage of players who eventually exhaust their fortunes and go broke (60 percent), a degree is a great option to fall back on.
Best of luck to them in their future academic endeavors. Hopefully, more athletes will follow the path of higher learning.
