Impact Isaac continues to play a minimal role, having now logged no more than 15 minutes in 15 of his past 16 appearances.

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.

Check back closer to tipoff for official word on Isaac's status.

Good to go Friday Isaac (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Bulls.
