La La Anthony has been supportive of Kiyan, who's following in his father Carmelo Anthony's footsteps and pursuing a basketball career.

In his senior year at Long Island Lutheran (NY), Kiyan averaged 15.4 points and 2.9 rebounds after returning from injury. Outside high school, he also shone on the Nike EYBL circuit, averaging 20.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game.

Kiyan Anthony touches down at Syracuse

Kiyan Anthony has arrived at Syracuse University to begin his college basketball journey. Syracuse shared a video on Instagram where Kiyan is seen stepping onto the campus and greeting the coaching staff.

"What’s up, y’all. It’s Kiy man. Just touched down at ’Cuse. Looking forward to it, man. Ready to get to work. Getting to know the guys, getting to know the staff. And yeah, let’s do it," he greets in the video.

The 6-foot-5 guard aims to create his own path at Syracuse, the program his father had played for, before the NBA draft.

Carmelo Anthony led the Orange to its first and only NCAA national championship in 2003. He averaged 22.2 points and 10 rebounds and was named the Final Four Most Outstanding Player.
