Overview
- Orlando announced Isaac sprained his left knee in Thursday’s overtime win over the Wizards, was ruled out for the game, and later had an MRI that confirmed the sprain.
- The Magic said his timeline will depend on how the knee responds to treatment, leaving his availability for the remaining regular-season games uncertain.
- Head coach Jamahl Mosley said his “heart dropped” when Isaac went down and noted the injury drained energy from the players.
- Reporter Jason Beede observed Isaac walking without assistance in the locker room, and Isaac declined to speak with media postgame.
- Isaac recently missed three games with left-knee soreness and has played a limited role this season, while Orlando expects to lean on frontcourt depth with Wendell Carter Jr., Goga Bitadze, Moe Wagner and Tristan da Silva as Franz Wagner and Anthony Black remain sidelined.
