Isaiah Austin, the former star Baylor basketball player who was diagnosed with Marfan syndrome during his 2014 NBA draft combine workout, has been cleared by doctors to return to playing basketball, he said.
"Ever since the draft I've been getting checked by my doctor, and through those checkups, we've been monitoring my heart, making sure that nothing has changed, and he said that I am stable," Austin said in a video posted on his Instagram account.
Austin had been projected as a late first-round pick in the 2014 NBA draft. He underwent a standard physical at the NBA combine where a electrocardiogram test revealed an abnormality in his heart.
