why cant Isiah Austin play, is it a bone condition or something?

Basically your body doesn't make enough collagen (a type of connective tissue, not the same type of collagen thats in bone if I remember correct). People with Marfans are tall, have long fingers, are really flexiblle, have poor wound healing, and most importantly have weak blood vessel integrity, making them prone to aortic aneurysms AKA damn near instant death.
