Isaac underwent X-rays on his back that returned negative after he was forced out of Sunday's 113-98 win over the Bulls with 9:32 remaining in the fourth quarter, Wendell Epps of Bally Sports Florida reports.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac tallied two rebounds and one foul in five minutes of playing time before leaving the contest with what the Magic labeled as a sore back. Assuming Isaac's injury isn't anything more severe than soreness, he shouldn't be facing a long-term absence. However, given Isaac's lengthy injury history, it's unclear whether he'll play in the Magic's next game Tuesday in Houston.

Isaac won't return to Sunday's game against the Bulls due to a sore back.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac has had injury issues throughout his career, and this is unfortunate for the young forward, as he had been playing well of late and only lasted five minutes in this game. Isaac's next chance to play will come against the Rockets on Tuesday.

Isaac (back) isn't on the injury report for Sunday's game versus the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Despite being available against Charlotte, Isaac didn't play in Friday's contest due to back spasms. However, there is no indication that the 26-year-old forward will sit out against Chicago.

Isaac (back spasms) didn't play in Friday's 124-115 loss to Charlotte.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac was added to the injury report roughly 30 minutes before tipoff, but he was deemed available. However, the Magic opted to err on the side of caution, and coach Jamahl Mosley said it's something the team will keep monitoring, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports. Isaac should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls.

Isaac is not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac missed Saturday's game due to right hamstring injury management, but he will return to action after missing just one game. The 26-year-old pro is averaging 10.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.2 steals, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 assists in 17.4 minutes per game over his last five appearances.

Isaac will not play in Saturday's matchup with the Grizzlies due to right hamstring maintenance.
EDGE Analysis
With Orlando playing the second night of a back-to-back set, the team will opt to err on the side of caution with Isaac. The defensive-minded big man accumulated three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3PT), five rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks across 17 minutes in Friday's loss to the Clippers. His next chance to suit up will come Monday versus Portland.

Isaac contributed 25 points (10-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 23 minutes during Saturday's 109-107 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac was a standout in the loss, leading the Magic with a season-high 25 points in 23 minutes. In fact, this was the first time Isaac has scored more than 20 points all season, highlighting just how unusual this performance was. He is at least in the discussion as a viable 12-team asset, although an unfavorable schedule makes it tough to hold him outside of deeper formats.

Isaac (knee/rest) isn't listed on Orlando's injury report for Tuesday's game versus the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac sat out 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.

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

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.
