Former Baylor basketball star Isaiah Austin has received a fellowship to work in the NBA league office during the 2021-22 season.
According to TMZ Sports, Austin is transitioning to the executive ranks after spending the past four years playing overseas.
Austin was expected to be a first-round pick in the 2014 NBA draft, but he was diagnosed with Marfan syndrome, which is a genetic disorder of the body's connective tissue. Austin was not selected, but the NBA made him an honorary draft pick, and Commissioner Adam Silver offered him a job with the league contingent on his completing his degree at Baylor.
