Jonathan Isaac - Status remains murkyGeneral manager John Hammond made no assurances Tuesday that Isaac (knee) would play this season, Michael Tozzi of 96.9 The Game Orlando reports. "No expectation either way," Hammo...

ImpactReports about where exactly Isaac stands in his recovery from the torn ACL he sustained in his left knee in August 2020 have been scarce all season, and Hammond's vague comments about the situation don't inspire much confidence that the 24-year-old's return to game action is imminent. Though teammate Markelle Fultz made his 2021-22 debut Monday following a 14-month recovery from a torn ACL, Isaac is now approaching the 19th month of his rehab program and has yet to resume full-contact practicing, at least based on the information made available by the Magic brass. With the fantasy playoffs approaching or underway in some leagues, Isaac's murky return timeline makes it tough for managers to justify holding him in any redraft format.

Malcolm Brogdon - Off injury report for WednesdayBrogdon (Achilles) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Magic.

ImpactBrogdon will be back in action after sitting out the second half of a back-to-back set Monday. He's looked good in his first two games back, averaging 17.5 points on 13.5 shots, 5.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.5 steals with just 1.0 turnovers.

Chris Duarte - Questionable at OrlandoDuarte (toe) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Magic.

ImpactDuarte injured his toe during Monday's loss, and he ended up playing just 14 minutes. Unsurprisingly, he's landed on the injury report, and Lance Stephenson (ankle) is also questionable. If one or both are absent, more minutes could be in store for Duane Washington, Keifer Sykes and other backcourt players.

Lance Stephenson - Questionable WednesdayStephenson (ankle) is questionable Wednesday against the Magic.

ImpactStephenson has missed the past two games with a sprained ankle. More information on his availability may emerge once he goes through morning shootaround and/or pregame warmups.

Moritz Wagner - Won't play WednesdayWagner (ribs) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Pacers.

ImpactWagner is slated to miss his eighth straight contest. His next chance to suit up will come Friday against the Raptors.

Cole Anthony - Dealing with hip contusionAnthony is probable for Wednesday's contest against the Pacers due to a left hip contusion.

ImpactAnthony totaled 11 points (3-14 FG, 4-5 FT, 1-7 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes during Monday's win over the Pacers, but he presumably picked up the hip injury as well. However, it doesn't appear to be serious, and he'll likely still be available Wednesday.

MARCH 1, 2022•ROTOWIRE

Wendell Carter Jr. - Keeps rolling MondayCarter finished with 21 points (8-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist across 28 minutes Monday in the Magic's 119-103 win over the Pacers.

ImpactCarter delivered his fifth double-double in a row and is averaging 18.8 points and 11.4 rebounds over that stretch while shooting 62.9 percent from the field. He's not delivering standout numbers in any other areas (3.0 assists, 1.0 three-pointers, 0.4 steals and 0.4 blocks per game, 68.8 percent free-throw shooting), but his three-category excellence of late is enough for fantasy managers to keep him active without much hesitation.
