It became my <a href=\"https:\/\/ballislife.com\/isaiah-austin-and-my-new-favorite-moment-in-nba-draft-history\/\">favorite NBA draft moment<\/a>&nbsp;ever. I ended my post about the moment by saying, \"I don't know what's in the future for Austin, but I can say it was a real honor following him over the past few years.\"<\/p>\n<p>Well, on Wednesday November 30th of 2016, Austin announced, via the latest episode of Cassy Athena's \"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCd5mjY5VOv8YIA3AtwedNMw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Thru The Lens<\/a>\" series, he has been cleared to play the game he loves again.<\/p>\n<p>I still don't know what's in his future but I can say this news brings me a lot of joy and I can't wait to start following his journey again over the following years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Very excited to announce to everyone that the news is true.
