A medical condition ended former Baylor Bears center Isaiah Austin's basketball career before he ever got a chance to live his dream of playing in the NBA. However, the 2K franchise didn't let that stop it from putting him in a video game.

Austin has been added as a free agent to NBA 2K15, which will allow gamers to use him.

Shortly following his diagnosis, Austin was ceremoniously selected during the 2014 NBA Draft by Commissioner Adam Silver. These are certainly cool gestures by the league and its partners.
