Report: Magic to waive Jonathan Isaac

Jonathan Isaac

FA Forward #1

Player Stats

NBA insider Jake Fischer reports that the Magic are waiving Jonathan Isaac.

The sixth overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, Isaac’s career has been limited due to injuries. He’s exceeded 60 games played twice in nine seasons and missed all of the 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons after suffering a torn left ACL in the Orlando bubble in the summer of 2020. There was hope that Isaac would return at some point during the 2021-22 season, but his knee did not respond as doctors had hoped. In 2025-26, Isaac appeared in 52 games, averaging 10.0 minutes before a knee injury ended his season in early March. Given the injury history, he’s likely to take on a limited role wherever he lands.

Jonathan Isaac (knee) is out for Friday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Management of Isaac’s left knee injury will keep him out of a second consecutive game, but his continued absence won’t significantly impact the Magic rotation. Tristan da Silva and Jamal Cain remain Orlando’s top two bench options at forward.

Jonathan Isaac (knee) has been ruled out against the Hawks on Wednesday.

Only Jonathan Isaac could be sidelined due to knee injury management on opening night. He likely wasn’t going to play a significant role anyway. Tristan da Silva may take on a few extra minutes with Isaac unavailable.

ORL Forward #1

Jonathan Isaac (personal) was back at Magic practice on Wednesday.

Isaac, who agreed to a one-year contract with the Magic in July, missed the team’s first two preseason games for personal reasons. While he gives Orlando another frontcourt option, his injury history and the other options available to head coach Sean Sweeney make Isaac a non-factor in fantasy leagues.

ORL Forward #1

Jonathan Isaac agreed to a one-year contract with the Magic, reports Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel.

Isaac was waived by the Magic just days ago, but finds himself back where he started. The former No. 6 overall pick from the 2017 NBA Draft, Isaac’s career has been a story of him mostly battling knee injuries. It’s unclear what his market was around the league, but Isaac decided his best path forward was to return to the Magic.

Jonathan Isaac (knee) is out for Sunday’s Game 7 against the Pistons.

Sidelined since March 12, Isaac will miss Sunday’s series decider due to a sprained left knee. His continued absence does not affect the Magic rotation.

Jonathan Isaac (knee) is doubtful for Sunday’s Game 7 against the Pistons.

Isaac hasn’t played in over a month and that’s unlikely to change in Sunday’s Game 7 against the Pistons. His continued absence won’t significantly impact the Magic’s rotation.

ORL Forward #1

Jonathan Isaac (knee) is out for Friday’s Game 6 against the Pistons.

Isaac has been out for over a month, giving the Magic more than enough time to adjust to his absence. Goga Bitadze will continue to serve as the backup center, and this may be a better matchup for him than Isaac because of the Pistons’ physicality.

Jonathan Isaac (knee) is doubtful for Friday’s Game 6 against the Pistons.

Isaac has yet to appear in a game this postseason, and it’s unlikely that will change in Game 6. His continued absence would not significantly affect the Magic rotation, as Isaac last appeared in a game on March 12.

Jonathan Isaac (knee) is out for Wednesday’s Game 5 against the Pistons.

Isaac has yet to appear in these playoffs, and that won’t change on Wednesday. Even with Franz Wagner (calf) also out, Isaac’s continued absence will not significantly affect the Magic frontcourt rotation.

Jonathan Isaac (knee) is doubtful for Game 5 against the Pistons on Wednesday.

Isaac has not played in the first-round series against Detroit, and his availability likely won’t change for a potential closeout game at Little Caesar’s Arena. Isaac’s continued absences haven’t impacted Orlando’s frontcourt rotation.

Yanic Konan Niederhäuser (foot) will not travel with the Clippers for their upcoming two-game road trip.

Niederhäuser is working his way back from a Lisfranc injury that ended his rookie season in early March. He’s progressing in his recovery, and the team has decided he will stay home to continue that process rather than travel with the Clippers for road games on Friday and Sunday. Thus far, the Clippers have relied mainly on Isaiah Jackson and Brook Lopez at center, with rookie Baba Miller getting a few minutes as well.

Max Strus (foot) will remain in Los Angeles to continue his rehab instead of traveling with the Clippers for their upcoming road trip.

Strus, who injured his right foot in an early-October preseason game, is scheduled for re-evaluation in a week. Instead of traveling with the team for road games on Friday and Sunday, he’ll stay in Los Angeles to continue his rehab work. Given the timeline provided at the beginning of the month, Strus’ return to the court may not be far away.

Utah Jazz will start Keyonte George, Darryn Peterson, Josh Green, Ace Bailey, and Jaxson Hayes against the Spurs.

Josh Green will start in place of Lauri Markkanen tonight who is out with a wrist injury, and Jaxson Hayes will return to the starting lineup for the injured Jaren Jackson Jr. Green and Hayes can be used as streamers but neither will be factors in most redraft leagues. Look for Darryn and Ace to pick up the scoring in this game.

Hayes is back after sitting out Monday’s loss to the Grizzlies with a sore right shoulder. With Lauri Markkanen and Jaren Jackson Jr. out, he may start on Wednesday. Hayes isn’t the most reliable fantasy option, but the opportunity makes him worthy of a look in deep leagues.
