Jonathan Isaac

ORL Forward #1

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.
Franz Wagner

ORL Forward #22

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Franz Wagner has been diagnosed with a right calf strain, and his status for Game 5 against the Pistons on Wednesday is uncertain.

Wagner left Game 4 after only 24 minutes and didn’t return, and Shams notes that his availability will depend on his response to treatment. Wagner’s absence opened the door for Jamal Cain to log meaningful minutes, and Cain played a vital, fourth-quarter role in the Magic’s close victory. If Wagner is unable to take the court, Cain will likely be in line for expanded run, but Anthony Black and Tristan da Silva would be candidates for extra minutes, too.
Franz Wagner

ORL Forward #22

Franz Wagner had 19 points (7-of-15 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, four steals and one three-pointer in Monday’s Game 4 win over the Pistons.

Wagner played just 24 minutes before leaving with a calf injury. While he returned to the bench, the Magic deemed him questionable to return to the game and then held him out for the rest of regulation. Wagner’s status will likely have to be monitored ahead of Game 5 on Wednesday.
Desmond Bane

ORL Guard #3

Desmond Bane had 22 points (7-of-18 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, one assist, one steal and five three-pointers in the Magic’s 94-88 Game 4 victory over the Pistons on Monday.

Bane had 22 points and five three-pointers in Game 4, which was one fewer three-pointer than the entire Pistons team. None of his threes were bigger than the bank shot Bane hit late in the fourth quarter to give the Magic a six-point lead. Bane and the Magic will look to complete their shocking upset by closing out the Pistons in Game 5 on Wednesday.
Jonathan Isaac

ORL Forward #1

Jonathan Isaac (knee) is out for Game 4 against the Pistons on Monday.

Isaac is still dealing with a sprained left knee that’s kept him out for a month and a half. He’s been ruled out of all four games in this series so far, though his absence doesn’t impact the Magic’s rotation.
Jonathan Isaac

ORL Forward #1

Jonathan Isaac (knee) is doubtful for Monday’s Game 4 against the Pistons.

Isaac, who has been out since March 12, is once again listed as doubtful ahead of a Magic game. That means there is a chance he returns for Game 4, but the odds are slim. Isaac’s absence has not significantly affected Orlando’s frontcourt rotation.
Franz Wagner

ORL Forward #22

Franz Wagner had 17 points (7-of-18 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in Saturday’s Game 3 win over the Pistons.

Wagner wasn’t efficient with 17 points on 18 attempts, but he had back-to-back clutch baskets late in the game that helped stop a storming Pistons comeback. He’s been effective late in both of the Magic’s wins in the series so far. Orlando will take a 2-1 series lead into Game 4 on Monday.
Desmond Bane

ORL Guard #3

Desmond Bane had 25 points (9-of-18 FGs), seven rebounds, one steal and seven three-pointers in Saturday’s Game 3 win over the Pistons.

Bane helped the Magic build a lead in this game. He made his seventh three-pointer at the beginning of the fourth quarter to put the Magic up by 11. Orlando squandered what was a 15-point lead in the fourth quarter before coming back and winning anyway. Game 4 against the Pistons is on Monday.
Paolo Banchero

ORL Forward #5

Paolo Banchero had 26 points (6-of-17 FGs, 11-of-14 FTs), 12 rebounds, nine assists, three steals, two blocks and two three-pointers in the Magic’s 113-105 victory over the Pistons in Game 3 on Saturday.

Banchero was excellent in the Game 3 win over the Pistons on Saturday, especially in the biggest moments of the game. With a five point lead and less than a minute remaining in regulation, the 23-year-old power forward shot a three-pointer from the top of the key that bounced in after hitting the back of the rim and going straight up. It put the game away for Orlando as they took a 2-1 series lead. The Magic will be at home for Game 4 on Monday as they look to extend their lead in the series.
Jonathan Isaac

ORL Forward #1

Jonathan Isaac (knee) is out for Saturday’s Game 3 against the Pistons.

Isaac hasn’t played since March 12 due to a sprained left knee. He’s been on the injury report and subsequently ruled out of all three games in this series so far. His continued absence doesn’t impact the Magic’s rotation.
