The Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving has donated $40,000 to a 93-year-old South Carolina woman in her legal battle to protect her family home from an encroaching developer, per Daily Mail US.

“Josephine Wright, a long-time resident of South Carolina’s picturesque Hilton Head Island, is being sued by Bailey Point Investment Group for allegedly blocking the developer’s progress on a 147-unit complex next to her property – a 1.8-acre plot that was first settled by escaped slaves and has remained in her family since the Civil War. Wright inherited the land in 2012 from her late husband.”
