Impact Isaac sat Sunday versus the Raptors due to left knee injury maintenance, but he'll return to action Tuesday. Over his last four appearances, the oft-injured forward has averaged 10.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in 18.8 minutes per game.

Won't play Sunday Isaac won't play Sunday against the Raptors due to left knee injury maintenance, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Isaac had appeared in four straight games, averaging 10.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in 18.8 minutes during that stretch. However, he was a late addition to the injury report Sunday and will ultimately take the night off. Isaac should be ready for Tuesday's matchup versus Charlotte, barring a setback.

Productive in limited minutes Isaac had 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 16 minutes during Friday's 98-74 loss to the Knicks.

Impact The 26-year-old has missed three of the last five games due to an illness and load management on his knee, and he hasn't played more than 20 minutes in a game since Feb. 10. Isaac was able to make a multi-category contribution Friday despite his limited court time, but until the Magic are comfortable giving him a more consistent role in the rotation, he'll be tough to roster in most fantasy formats.

MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE

Off injury report Isaac (injury management) isn't listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Isaac sat out the closing end of the Magic's back-to-back set Wednesday for rest purposes and, as expected, will be good to go Friday. In his last 10 appearances, Isaac is averaging 6.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.0 blocks.

Will rest Wednesday Isaac will be rested for Wednesday's game versus the Wizards.

Iffy against Charlotte Isaac is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets due to left knee injury maintenance.

Impact Isaac and Gary Harris have both been deemed questionable Wednesday for precautionary reasons, as the Magic are on the second leg of a back-to-back. If Isaac is ruled out, Caleb Houstan will likely receive increased playing time.

Impact Isaac missed Tuesday's win over Brooklyn after landing awkwardly on his knee the game before, but he was on track to play Thursday versus Utah before succumbing to an illness.

Still more clarity will come once the team releases its injury report.

Won't return Sunday Isaac has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against Atlanta due to an apparent left leg injury, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Isaac fell awkwardly in the first quarter of Sunday's matchup and grabbed his left leg afterward.

Before departing, he was held scoreless (0-2 FT) with one rebound in two minutes. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available Tuesday against Brooklyn.

Operating on minutes restriction Coach Jamahl Mosley said Isaac will limited to around 14-16 minutes during Wednesday's game versus the Knicks, Jake Chapman of the Magic Radio Network reports.

Impact Isaac has dealt with extensive injuries throughout his career, and the Magic will be cautious with him on the second night of a back-to-back Wednesday. Isaac is averaging 5.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 18.0 minutes across his last five outings.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Monday Isaac has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against Dallas due to an undisclosed injury, Wendell Epps of Bally Sports Florida reports.

Jonathan Isaac returns to Magic starting lineup at Dallas Monday’s Magic game at Dallas marked the first time Jonathan Isaac was in Orlando’s starting five since Jan. 1, 2020 at Washington.

JANUARY 30 • ORLANDOSENTINEL.COM

Starting Monday Isaac is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Dallas.

Impact Isaac will make his first start since Jan.1 2020. He has been sharp defensively for Orlando this season, and joins Jalen Suggs, Fran Wagner, Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter in the jumbo-lineup Monday.

Sees boosted minutes again Isaac played 23 minutes and finished with nine points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal in Sunday's 113-98 win over the Suns.

Impact After playing no more than 17 minutes in 16 consecutive appearances from Nov. 19 through Jan. 22, Isaac has now cleared 20 minutes in two straight contests. Though the Magic are primarily deploying him as the primary backup to Paolo Banchero, Isaac has been able to pick up extra playing time at the other forward spot and as a backup center thanks to his ranginess and defensive versatility. Isaac should primarily be viewed as a streaming option for steals and blocks if he continues to see 20-plus minutes, but he could become more of a longer-term hold if he's able to pair the defensive production with increased usage on the offensive end. On an encouraging note, the Magic appear to be confident in the oft-injured Isaac's health; he's not on the injury report for Monday's game in Dallas and looks poised to be available for the second leg of the back-to-back set.

Logs season-high 22 minutes Isaac finished with 10 points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and five rebounds across 22 minutes during Friday's 107-106 loss to Memphis.

Impact Isaac played a season-high 22 minutes in the loss, although his production was nowhere near as positive. Despite being relatively healthy this season, Isaac is not the fantasy player he once was. Outside the top 180 for the season, he can be ignored in all standard formats.
