Kyrie Irving has signed with 24/7 Sports Management, according to tweets from NBA player Larry Hughes and Irving himself.
On Friday, Hughes tweeted, and Irving quickly retweeted, "24/7 sports management wanna welcome the young homie Kyrie Irving to the family."
The announcement confirms that Irving will enter the 2011 NBA Draft where he is expected to be a top-3 pick.
Based in Coral Gables, Fl., 24/7 Sports Management is run by agent Jeffrey Wechsler, and represents NBA players Quentin Richardson and D.J. White, along with Hughes.
A call to Wechsler was not immediately returned.
