Jonathan Isaac Started 5-On-5 Work
5 years agoOrlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (knee) has finally started going through some 5-on-5 work during practice. Being cleared for 5-on-5 work is a significant step forward in his recovery process. The Magic are notoriously slow at bringing guys back from injuries. Isaac has not played in a basketball game in seven months, so it's unclear if he'll be ready in time for the restart. The organization would likely have restrictions on Isaac if he does return in time to play. Otherwise, Terrence Ross and Wesley Iwundu will benefit without Isaac on the court. Ross will have some DFS appeal with extended minutes.

Jonathan Isaac Downgraded To Questionable On Friday
1 month agoAccording to Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel, Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (illness) has been downgraded to questionable for Friday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies. Isaac could miss the second leg of a back-to-back due to an illness after posting two points and one rebound in 11 minutes of work against Atlanta on Thursday. If Isaac is on the shelf, Jett Howard and Tristan da Silva will likely see expanded roles in Orlando's rotation this evening.

Jonathan Isaac Downgraded To Out Versus Hornets
2 months agoOrlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (back) is unavailable for Wednesday's matchup with the Charlotte Hornets. Isaac carried a questionable tag earlier but has since been downgraded to out for the contest. Wednesday's game will be the first the 27-year-old has missed since December 10th. With Isaac sidelined, it gives some of the Magic's younger players a chance step up like Caleb Houstan and Jett Howard. However, both players should not be seen as a viable fantasy option for tonight's game.

Jonathan Isaac Won't Return On Tuesday
2 months agoOrlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (illness) has been ruled out for the rest of Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Isaac was questionable coming into this game due to an illness, but he ultimately decided to suit up. He only managed to play about five minutes before exiting the contest due to this illness. The Magic have ruled him out for the rest of the night, which is a bummer for anyone who started him in fantasy leagues.
