Wake Forest Athletics announced Tuesday that former Demon Deacons point guard Chris Paul donated $2.5 million to support the basketball program.
The Houston Rockets star's gift, which is the school's largest by a former basketball player or member of its alumni under the age of 35, will be used to "transform the men's and women's basketball clubhouses with expanded and enhanced locker rooms, nutrition resources and treatment areas."
"The locker room transformation project inspired me, because that's where players build relationships and create a unifying camaraderie that is the foundation of success on the court," Paul said in the announcement.
