Impact Isaac produced solid per-minute numbers in his return to the court following a three-game absence due to a left hip contusion. While Isaac and Moritz Wagner should continue to operate as the Magic's primary backup big men moving forward, Isaac's lengthy injury history could deter Orlando from scaling up his minutes dramatically, even once he becomes further removed from the hip issue.

Tallies three defensive stats Isaac produced five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3PT), two blocks and one steal in seven minutes during Friday's 114-99 preseason win over Philadelphia.

Impact Isaac played limited minutes off the bench but still managed to have a sizeable impact on the defensive end. Now fully healthy, Isaac has been able to put together an injury-free preseason for the first time in what feels like forever. The Magic are unlikely to extend him too much, something that does put a cap on his overall value. With that said, he is one of the most enigmatic fantasy players typically available late in drafts. If you can afford to take a chance, he is worth considering just in case he can cobble together a consistent 20-minute role.
