Former Indiana Pacers big man Goga Bitadze makes Orlando Magic debut against PacersBitadze spent the first three-and-a-half years of his career with Indiana
Jonathan Isaac - Out with hamstring strainIsaac won't play Monday against the Pelicans due to a right hamstring strain, Khobi Price of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
ImpactIsaac 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.

Report: G Michael Carter-Williams reaches deal with MagicFree agent guard Michael Carter-Williams will return to the Orlando Magic on a two-year contract, The Athletic reported Sunday.

Michael Carter-Williams - Set to rejoin OrlandoCarter-Williams agreed Sunday with the Magic on a two-year contract, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ImpactThe veteran guard spent time with the Magic in each of the past three seasons, though he didn't see any action in 2021-22 while he was recovering from left ankle surgery prior to being waived last February. Presumably healthy again, Carter-Williams will link back up with the Magic and offer depth at point guard while also having the ability to defend wings. Carter-Williams averaged 8.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 25.8 minutes per game across 31 appearances (25 starts) for the Magic in his last healthy season in 2020-21, but he's unlikely to approach that level of playing time over the final couple months of the current campaign.
