Jonathan Isaac Available For Wednesday's Contest

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (hip) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Isaac is back in the mix after missing the last three games due to a left hip contusion.

Jonathan Isaac In Danger Of Missing A Fourth Consecutive Game

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (hip) continues to carry a questionable tag ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Chicago.

However, Wednesday […]

Franz Wagner Won't Return On Monday Night

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (illness) won't return to Monday's game against Indiana. He is under the weather, resulting in a questionable tag early on Monday.

Franz Wagner Good To Go Versus The Pacers

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (illness) will play on Monday against the Pacers. He wasn't feeling well, resulting in a questionable tag earlier on Monday.

Goga Bitadze Won't Play Against Indiana

However, with Jonathan Isaac (hip) also ruled out, it could mean even more minutes for Moritz Wagner, who has averaged 11 points and […]

Jonathan Isaac Out Again On Monday Evening

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (hip) won't play in Monday's matchup with the Pacers. The 27-year-old logged 11 minutes in the opener against the Miami Heat, finishing with three points, two blocks, and one steal.

Orlando Magic center/forward Goga Bitadze (foot) makes an early-season appearance on the injury report while he deals with a left foot injury of sorts.
