Imagine being told that the game you love so much, can no longer be an option for a career because your health won’t allow it. But what if I also told you that miracles happen everyday and sometimes all you have to do is have faith and positivity, everything will work out. That miracle and feel good story of the year, happened to someone well deserved, former Baylor stand-out, Isaiah Austin.
Isaiah Austin was diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome just days before the NBA Draft, but Austin didn’t let that get him down. Austin still received a ceremonial draft by Adam Silver, and despite not being able to play on the court, he was given the oppurtunity to work behind doors.
But hopefully, after today he will get to do the work he dreamed of, playing for an NBA team. Austin was cleared today by his medical doctors to play again. Check out the video above by Cassy Athena and get your feels.
