Impact Magic president of basketball operations Jeff Weltman said that the team remains optimistic that Isaac will be ready to go for the start of the 2022-23 season, but those invested in the forward in dynasty leagues will still want to keep a close eye on his progress during the offseason. Orlando didn't disclose when exactly Isaac underwent the hamstring procedure, so it's possible that he suffered the setback at some point weeks or even months earlier in his rehab program. Regardless, the hamstring issue likely explains why the Magic recently ruled Isaac out for the rest of the 2021-22 season, despite the fact that he originally tore his ACL in August 2020 at the NBA bubble in Orlando. Even if Isaac enters training camp with a clean bill of health, fantasy managers may want to scale back expectations in terms of both his games and minutes played during the upcoming season, given that he'll be more than two years removed from his last NBA action.
