Jonathan Isaac News, Rumors, Updates - Orlando Magic

Back to bench Isaac won't start Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

Not on injury report Isaac (undisclosed) is not on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Isaac played just eight minutes Monday before leaving the game for good for undisclosed reasons. Presumably, the Magic were just being cautious on the second leg of the back-to-back set given his injury history.

Won't return Monday Isaac has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against Dallas due to an undisclosed injury, Wendell Epps of Bally Sports Florida reports.

Impact Isaac drew a rare start Monday, but his night will come to an end after collecting two points in eight minutes. The nature of his injury is unknown at this time.

Jonathan Isaac returns to Magic starting lineup at Dallas Monday’s Magic game at Dallas marked the first time Jonathan Isaac was in Orlando’s starting five since Jan. 1, 2020 at Washington.

Starting Monday Isaac is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Dallas.

Impact Isaac will make his first start since Jan.1 2020. He has been sharp defensively for Orlando this season, and joins Jalen Suggs, Fran Wagner, Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter in the jumbo-lineup Monday.

Sees boosted minutes again Isaac played 23 minutes and finished with nine points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal in Sunday's 113-98 win over the Suns.

Impact After playing no more than 17 minutes in 16 consecutive appearances from Nov. 19 through Jan. 22, Isaac has now cleared 20 minutes in two straight contests. Though the Magic are primarily deploying him as the primary backup to Paolo Banchero, Isaac has been able to pick up extra playing time at the other forward spot and as a backup center thanks to his ranginess and defensive versatility. Isaac should primarily be viewed as a streaming option for steals and blocks if he continues to see 20-plus minutes, but he could become more of a longer-term hold if he's able to pair the defensive production with increased usage on the offensive end. On an encouraging note, the Magic appear to be confident in the oft-injured Isaac's health; he's not on the injury report for Monday's game in Dallas and looks poised to be available for the second leg of the back-to-back set.

Impact Isaac played a season-high 22 minutes in the loss, although his production was nowhere near as positive. Despite being relatively healthy this season, Isaac is not the fantasy player he once was. Outside the top 180 for the season, he can be ignored in all standard formats.

Hits six free throws in return Isaac (hamstring) tallied six points (0-1 FG, 6-8 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 15 minutes in Saturday's 112-100 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Isaac lived at the charity stripe in his return from a 10-game absence due to a hamstring strain, leading the Magic in free-throw attempts despite playing the fewest minutes of any of Orlando's 10 rotation players. Even while Orlando was without five players due to injury Saturday, Isaac still had a muted role off the bench, and his outlook for earning more minutes is unlikely to improve anytime soon.

JANUARY 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

JANUARY 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Missing another game Isaac (hamstring) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Impact The right hamstring strain will keep Isaac on the sideline for a sixth straight game, and given his history as a slow healer, the 26-year-old forward seems likely to miss additional time beyond Wednesday. While he's been effective on a per-minute basis with averages of 6.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.2 blocks and 0.9 steals in 13.6 minutes per contest this season, Isaac doesn't look as though he'll have a path to see his playing time ramp up in a major way, especially now that he has to overcome a lower-body injury.

Impact Isaac was deemed a game-time decision for Friday's matchup, but he'll be unable to suit up against New York. Joe Ingles (ankle) is also out Friday, so Chuma Okeke and Caleb Houstan should continue to see increased roles.

DECEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Considered game-time decision Isaac (hamstring), who is officially questionable for Friday's matchup against the Knicks, is considered a game-time decision, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

DECEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Friday Isaac (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Isaac has missed the past two games due to a sore right hamstring, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to return to action Friday. If he sits out again, Chuma Okeke and Caleb Houstan could continue to see an uptick in playing time.
