Isaac (rest) will not play in Tuesday's game against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac will rest after appearing in Orlando's first three games. He's a candidate to return for Thursday's game against Utah, but the 26-year-old isn't on fantasy radars in standard leagues.

Isaac accumulated three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal across 11 minutes during Monday's 106-103 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac saw limited action off the bench, which has been the case through all three of the Magic's games to begin the regular season. The Florida State product looked to be turning into one of the better defensive players in the NBA early in his career, but a series of leg injuries have significantly impacted his trajectory. Isaac missed the entirety of the 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons before appearing in only 11 games a year ago. Managers in deeper formats may want to keep an eye on Isaac's workload over the next few weeks, but it's looking increasingly likely that the injuries will prevent him from ever reaching the potential he displayed coming out of college.

Isaac (hamstring/thigh/knee) is fully healthy entering training camp, according to Orlando Magic Daily.
EDGE Analysis
After missing two straight campaigns with a major knee injury, Isaac dealt with a hamstring injury and a torn adductor last season, causing him to play in just 11 games. The Magic are going to exercise caution given his history, but his elite defense will give him a shot at earning a rotational role once he gets his legs under him.

Isaac (thigh) expects to be ready for the start of the 2023-24 campaign, Khobi Price of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac missed the start of the 2022-23 season while recovering from a torn ACL, and he underwent season-ending surgery in early March to repair a torn left adductor muscle. While he was unavailable for the final month of the season, he said Monday that he expects to be "full go" for basketball activities in a few weeks.

Isaac (hamstring) underwent season-ending surgery Friday to repair a torn left adductor muscle, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The torn adductor was revealed after an MRI on Wednesday, though Isaac had been listed out due to a hamstring injury. This is a tough blow for Isaac, who returned this season to play 11 games following a two-year absence due to a torn ACL. A timetable for his recovery may be revealed by the team in the coming days, though we know he's at least out for the year. Isaac's absence could lead to more minutes for Bol Bol.

Isaac (hamstring) won't play in Friday's game versus the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac's absence streak will extend to four games Friday due to a right hamstring strain. The 25-year-old forward has only been able to suit up for 11 games so far this season, and his next opportunity to add to that total arrives Sunday against Portland.

Isaac (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis

Isaac (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac has missed back-to-back games due to a right hamstring strain and is in danger of missing a third. The oft-injured forward has been under a strict 15-minute restriction since returning from a two-and-a-half-year hiatus due to multiple injuries, so he hasn't been able to make a major fantasy impact anyway.

Isaac won't play Monday against the Pelicans due to a right hamstring strain, Khobi Price of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac returned to action at the end of January following a two and a half year hiatus due to injuries and appeared in 11 of 14 contests, with his only absences coming during back-to-back sets. The 2017 first-round pick was held out of Saturday's loss to Indiana, marking his first absence that wasn't part of a back-to-back, due to what was initially thought to be rest purposes, but Isaac is now being listed with a hamstring strain. This is certainly a concerning development for the oft-injured forward, and while the severity of the issue remains unclear, Orlando is expected to be extremely cautious with him moving forward.
