To celebrate his remarkable courage and character during his career-ending diagnosis of Marfan syndrome, 2K conducted facial scanning with Isaiah at the NBA 2K studios to fulfill one more part of the dream of any aspiring basketball athlete by becoming an in-game player in NBA 2K15.

Fans will have the opportunity to add him to their team as a free agent as well as in the MyTEAM mode, and view him on this week�s episode of NBA2K TV.

For those that are curious, Isaiah Austin is rated an overall 73.

Cool gesture, hope they have him in the game every year and not a 1 year thing

Not every thread needs default back to a patch, a complaint, or something not working correctly. This guy had his dream taken away from him for no reason other than bad luck really. Great move by 2k. I'm thinking about restarting my MyLeague (again) just to add him in. I had just started a new one last week.

I went to school with the guy, was incredibly happy to see this news. Last thing I wanted to do was put negativity in the thread by complaining about him not showing up.

However, this thread seemed like an appropriate place to mention he wasn't working. I also want to restart MyLeague just to play with him, but can't do so until he's properly in the game.

Dunno what platform you're on (or if it matters) but I'm on PC and he works now. Just started working for me.

For those that sign him in MyLeague, how much money does he want?

Have you relaunched the game? Is he still not working?

Yes, i've relaunched the game 4/5 times but nothing! I've tried to redownload the roster update but nothing!

This is a wonderful gesture. Wonderful. How do I get him for offline use? Just download the roster?

He wanted a 1-year deal at $4.36 million in my GM mode with Golden State

Again, class move 2K and yes, I would try and make him part of a new big 3 with the Splash Brothers

I'm about to start a new MyLeague with the Mavericks post-Rondo trade. They have a desperate need for a backup big now (especially one who can protect the rim when Chandler's not on the court) so it's a perfect fit. It's also Isaiah's hometown team

I can't find him on the free agent roster for 360

Current gen only. If you're on last gen you aren't likely to see any updates like this.

Don't like the fact that this dude appears in the FA Pool in MyLeague.

I want a sim-game, not to have ill college kids get vastly overrated (He has a higher OVR than Jabari Parker and Nerlens Noel, more badges too...)

I know I come off as a Buzz Killington but I feel like even more of a monster when I have to put all his ratings to 25 so that he doesn't become a viable NBA big man in Myeague.
