Impact Isaac will miss the front end of the Magic's back-to-back Saturday while tending to a left knee injury, and he'll look to be available for Sunday's contest against the Bucks. Tristan da Silva, Noah Penda and Goga Bitadze are all in line for a slight bump in minutes in Isaac's absence.

Questionable for Saturday Isaac (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.

Ruled out Thursday Isaac is out for Thursday's game against the Mavericks due to left knee soreness.

Impact Isaac was a late addition to the injury report, and his next chance to play now comes in Saturday's matchup against the Timberwolves in Minnesota. His absence could allow Tristan da Silva and Jevon Carter to see an uptick in playing time Thursday.

Impact Isaac was a late addition to the injury report with left knee soreness. If Isaac ends up sitting out, the Magic could rely more on Tristan da Silva and Jett Howard.

Barely visible in win Isaac ended with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one block across three minutes during Saturday's 120-117 victory over Utah.

Impact Isaac continues to play a minimal role, having now logged no more than 15 minutes in 15 of his past 16 appearances. At this point, it's hard to consider him an every-night part of the rotation, eliminating all of his fantasy appeal. In 41 games thus far, he has averaged just 2.8 points and 2.5 rebounds in 10.1 minutes per contest.

Makes mark on defense Wednesday Isaac tallied four points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks across 17 minutes Wednesday in the Magic's 133-124 win over the Heat.

Impact After playing just 12 total minutes over the Magic's previous five contests, Isaac resurfaced in head coach Jamahl Mosley's rotation Wednesday and made a strong case for sticking on the second unit on a more recurring basis. With four defensive counters on the night, Isaac ranked second to only Anthony Black (four steals, two blocks) among Magic players. The Magic aren't likely to count on Isaac to offer much on the offensive end, but the defensive disruptiveness that he showcased Wednesday could be enough for him to regain traction in the rotation while younger forwards such as Tristan da Silva and Noah Penda have seen their productivity dwindle in recent games.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Exits rotation Thursday Isaac (coach's decision) didn't appear off the bench in Thursday's 118-111 win over the Grizzlies in Berlin.

Impact After seeing no more than 12 minutes while appearing in each of the previous five games, Isaac dropped out of the rotation entirely Thursday as the Magic welcomed Franz Wagner (ankle) back into the lineup following a 16-game absence. While he remains a versatile defensive piece and has enjoyed relatively good health over the past two seasons, Isaac has seen his offensive efficiency crater since he posted a career-best 61.0 true shooting percentage in 2023-24. He's holding down a 52.6 TS% so far in 2025-26, and his lack of offensive impact could be enough to cost him a regular role on the second unit moving forward.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Available to play Isaac (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Isaac will power through his illness, and he could see a slight uptick in minutes Sunday with Wendell Carter (hip) unavailable. Isaac is averaging 3.1 points and 2.8 rebounds per game this season.
