Jonathan Isaac News, Rumors, Updates - Orlando Magic

Questionable for Monday Isaac (sore hamstring) is questionable for Monday's game against the Mavericks, according to Dan Savage of the Magic's official site.

Impact Isaac is expected to warm up and will be a game-time call. Considering how cautious the Magic have been with Isaac, it wouldn't be surprising to see him be held out. If he's unable to play, we could see more of Joe Ingles.

Set to play Thursday Isaac (rest) isn't on the injury report for Thursday's game versus the Jazz.

Impact Isaac is good to go Thursday after missing Tuesday's contest for rest purposes. The 26-year-old forward is averaging 4.7 points and 3.0 rebounds in 11.0 minutes across his first three appearances this season.

Resting Tuesday Isaac (rest) will not play in Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Isaac will rest after appearing in Orlando's first three games. He's a candidate to return for Thursday's game against Utah, but the 26-year-old isn't on fantasy radars in standard leagues.

Quiet night in 11 minutes Isaac accumulated three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal across 11 minutes during Monday's 106-103 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Isaac saw limited action off the bench, which has been the case through all three of the Magic's games to begin the regular season. The Florida State product looked to be turning into one of the better defensive players in the NBA early in his career, but a series of leg injuries have significantly impacted his trajectory. Isaac missed the entirety of the 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons before appearing in only 11 games a year ago. Managers in deeper formats may want to keep an eye on Isaac's workload over the next few weeks, but it's looking increasingly likely that the injuries will prevent him from ever reaching the potential he displayed coming out of college.

Magic lose Jonathan Isaac for season with torn adductor

Jonathan Isaac’s comeback story has been sidelined again by another season-ending injury, this time a torn adductor muscle

MARCH 3, 2023 • Associated Press

Undergoes season-ending surgery Isaac (hamstring) underwent season-ending surgery Friday to repair a torn left adductor muscle, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact The torn adductor was revealed after an MRI on Wednesday, though Isaac had been listed out due to a hamstring injury. This is a tough blow for Isaac, who returned this season to play 11 games following a two-year absence due to a torn ACL. A timetable for his recovery may be revealed by the team in the coming days, though we know he's at least out for the year. Isaac's absence could lead to more minutes for Bol Bol.

Still out against Charlotte Isaac (hamstring) won't play in Friday's game versus the Hornets.

Impact Isaac's absence streak will extend to four games Friday due to a right hamstring strain. The 25-year-old forward has only been able to suit up for 11 games so far this season, and his next opportunity to add to that total arrives Sunday against Portland.

MARCH 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play against Milwaukee Isaac (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus the Bucks.

Impact Isaac will miss his third straight game Wednesday due to a right hamstring strain. His next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup in Charlotte.

MARCH 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable Isaac (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Bucks.

Impact Isaac has missed back-to-back games due to a right hamstring strain and is in danger of missing a third. The oft-injured forward has been under a strict 15-minute restriction since returning from a two-and-a-half-year hiatus due to multiple injuries, so he hasn't been able to make a major fantasy impact anyway.

FEBRUARY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out with hamstring strain Isaac won't play Monday against the Pelicans due to a right hamstring strain, Khobi Price of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Isaac returned to action at the end of January following a two and a half year hiatus due to injuries and appeared in 11 of 14 contests, with his only absences coming during back-to-back sets. The 2017 first-round pick was held out of Saturday's loss to Indiana, marking his first absence that wasn't part of a back-to-back, due to what was initially thought to be rest purposes, but Isaac is now being listed with a hamstring strain. This is certainly a concerning development for the oft-injured forward, and while the severity of the issue remains unclear, Orlando is expected to be extremely cautious with him moving forward.

FEBRUARY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Resting Saturday Isaac will not play Saturday against the Pacers due to left knee injury management.

Impact Isaac is coming off his best performance of the season, posting 10 points, seven boards, two steals, one block and one assist in 16 minutes against the Pistons. He'll likely continue getting rest days throughout the season, but fantasy managers in deep formats who need defensive stats can consider adding the forward. The Florida State product has at least one defensive stat in every game this season, averaging 1.3 steals and 0.4 blocks in 11.3 minutes.

FEBRUARY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Available Thursday Isaac (knee) is available for Thursday's matchup against the Pistons.

Impact Isaac sat out the Magic's final game before the break, which was the second half of a back-to-back. He's yet to play more than 14 minutes in a game, but the forward appeared in six straight before his Valentine's Day absence, averaging 3.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 11.8 minutes.

Sitting out Tuesday Isaac will sit out Tuesday's game against the Raptors due to left knee injury management, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.

Impact Isaac wasn't included on Orlando's initial injury report for Tuesday, but he'll end up sitting out the second leg of the back-to-back set after all, as was the case the Magic previously encountered a back-to-back set Jan. 27 and 28 shortly after the forward made his season debut. Look for head coach Jamahl Mosley to turn to either Chuma Okeke or Caleb Houstan to fill Isaac's spot in the rotation as a backup forward.

FEBRUARY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Appears set to play Tuesday Isaac isn't listed on the Magic's injury report for Tuesday's game against the Raptors and appears on track to play.

Impact If Isaac suits up, it would mark the first time he's played both legs of a back-to-back set since he returned to the court in late January following a nearly two-and-a-half-year layoff from NBA action. The Magic haven't made a major effort to have Isaac ramp up in his three weeks since making his season debut, as he's played between eight and 14 minutes in all of his 10 appearances to date. Expect his minutes to fall in that range once again Tuesday.

FEBRUARY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fails to score in 13 minutes Isaac finished with zero points (0-4 FG), four rebounds and one steal across 13 minutes during Monday's 100-91 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Isaac remained on a firm minute restriction Monday, capping his overall value even before hitting the hardwood. Outside of a few defensive flashes, Isaac has been mediocre since returning from a long-term knee injury, much to the disappointment of anyone who chanced things by picking him up. The Magic have no reason to rush him back, so despite his upside, it feels unlikely he will be putting up anything close to standard league value, at least not for the foreseeable future.

FEBRUARY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not on injury report Isaac (knee) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game against Minnesota.

Impact Isaac sat out Wednesday against Philadelphia due to left knee injury management, but he'll be back in action Friday. He's been on a minutes limit over his four appearances since making his season debut, averaging 5.5 points and 2.8 rebounds in 9.3 minutes per game.

Out Wednesday Isaac (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.

Impact Isaac will take Wednesday's game off to rest his knee after appearing in two straight games. He hasn't seen more than 10 minutes in any game this season, so his absence from the rotation won't make a huge impact. However, Bol Bol could see more action.
