JUNE 9 • SI.COM

MAY 31 • SI.COM

Out again for Game 7 Isaac (knee) is listed as out for Sunday's Game 7 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against the Pistons.

Impact Isaac hasn't played during this series, so his absence shouldn't catch anyone by surprise. If Orlando manages to advance to the second round, it's unknown if Isaac will be ready to go. However, even if the 28-year-old gets cleared to return at some point this postseason, he likely won't be much of a factor on either end of the floor.

Pistons, Magic set for game 7 matchup

The Detroit Pistons and the Orlando Magic face off in game seven of the Eastern Conference first round

MAY 3 • Associated Press

Not expected to play Sunday Isaac (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's Game 7 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against Detroit.

Impact Isaac has appeared in only one game in the last two months, so the doubtful designation is hardly a surprise. If the 28-year-old manages to return for Sunday's contest, he may not see any action. If anything, Isaac might only be used sporadically throughout the contest for situational purposes.

MAY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to out Isaac (knee) is out for Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs Friday against Detroit.

Impact As expected, the Magic have downgraded Isaac from doubtful to out for Game 6 due to a left knee sprain. If the Pistons survive Friday and force a Game 7, Isaac wouldn't appear to be in line to be available for that contest either.

Another doubtful tag Isaac (knee) is doubtful for Game 6 on Friday against Detroit.

Impact The Magic are listing Isaac as doubtful with a left knee sprain ahead of a fourth consecutive contest. Jamal Cain is already set to fill in for the injured Franz Wagner (calf) on Friday, so it's possible Tristan da Silva will be needed to pick up a few extra minutes in Game 6.

APRIL 30 • ROTOWIRE

Out again for Game 5 Isaac (knee) is out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Pistons.

Impact As expected, Isaac will miss yet another contest for Orlando. He's likely going to be doubtful at best for Game 6 on Friday.

APRIL 29 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Game 5 Isaac (knee) is doubtful for Game 5 on Wednesday against the Pistons.

Impact A sprained left knee has cost Isaac over a month and a half of action, and the oft-injured forward remains unlikely to return in Game 5. With Isaac expected to stay on the shelf, Jamal Cain should remain a fixture off the bench for the Magic on Wednesday.

APRIL 28 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to out Isaac (knee) is out for Game 4 on Monday against the Pistons.

Impact Isaac has been sidelined for a month and a half due to a left knee sprain, and the Magic haven't given any indication that the oft-injured forward's return to the court is at all imminent. Jamal Cain should continue to see some playing time off the bench in Isaac's continued absence Monday.

APRIL 27 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely for Monday Isaac (knee) is doubtful for Monday's Game 4 against the Pistons.

Impact Isaac has not appeared in a game since March 12 due to a left knee injury, and he is unlikely to play Monday. Jamal Cain figures to maintain a role off the bench as long as Isaac is sidelined.

APRIL 26 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Saturday Isaac (knee) has been ruled out for Game 3 against the Pistons on Saturday.

Impact As expected, Isaac will be a spectator for Saturday's Eastern Conference playoff game due to a left knee sprain that he sustained in mid-March. His next chance to play is Game 4 on Monday, but he's unlikely to be available for that contest as well.

APRIL 25 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Game 3 Isaac (knee) is doubtful for Game 3 on Saturday against the Pistons.

Impact Isaac, who hasn't appeared in a game in over a month, is expected to remain a spectator due to a left knee sprain. Jamal Cain should continue to fill Isaac's spot in the rotation and see some playing time off the bench.

APRIL 24 • ROTOWIRE

Listed out for Game 2 Isaac (knee) is out for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Pistons.

Impact Isaac has been limited to non-contact drills so it was a surprise he even had a doubtful tag prior to this.

APRIL 22 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Game 2 Isaac (knee) is doubtful for Game 2 on Wednesday against the Pistons.

Impact Isaac, who's limited to non-contact drills at practice, doesn't appear to be ready for game action amid his recovery from a left knee sprain. His expected absence Wednesday should at least keep Jamal Cain in the mix but will otherwise have a minimal impact on Orlando's frontcourt rotation.

APRIL 21 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to non-contact drills Isaac (knee) remains limited to non-contact drills at practice, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Based on this update, it's safe to rule out Isaac for his 21st straight game for Wednesday's Game 2 against Detroit. Isaac is making progress, but the Magic aren't ready to offer a timetable.

APRIL 21 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Game 1 Isaac (knee) is out for Sunday's Game 1 against the Pistons.

Impact Isaac will miss a 20th straight game due to a left knee injury. His next opportunity to suit up comes Wednesday for Game 2.

APRIL 19 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Game 1 Isaac (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Game 1 against the Pistons.

Impact Isaac is in danger of missing a 20th consecutive contest due to a left knee sprain. If he's ultimately ruled out, Tristan da Silva and Jamal Cain could see a small bump in playing time.

APRIL 18 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Friday Isaac (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's Play-In Tournament game against the Hornets.

Impact Isaac hasn't played since March 12 due to a left knee sprain and will remain sidelined for Friday's win-or-go-home matchup. His continued absence shouldn't cause any significant waves in the rotation.

APRIL 17 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Isaac (knee) is questionable for Friday's Play-In Tournament game against the Hornets.

Impact Isaac has missed over a month now due to a left knee sprain, but the Magic are leaving the door open for the forward to return in a must-win game Friday. If Isaac is ultimately deemed unable to play, Orlando would need Tristan da Silva and Jamal Cain to help fill out more playing time in the frontcourt.

APRIL 16 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Wednesday Isaac (knee) won't play in Wednesday's Play-In Tournament game against the 76ers, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Isaac isn't ready to return Wednesday from a month-long absence with a left knee sprain. His absence should help keep Tristan da Silva in a significant role in the frontcourt against Philadelphia.

APRIL 15 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Wednesday Isaac (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament game against the 76ers.

Impact The oft-injured Isaac last appeared back on March 12, but he'll have an opportunity to overcome a left knee sprain and get back onto the court Wednesday. Isaac would likely have a minutes restriction if he's upgraded to available, which means Jamal Cain should remain at least somewhat involved off the bench in any event.
