Isaac has been diagnosed with a left knee strain after exiting Sunday's game against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac sustained his injury in the first quarter of Sunday's matchup, but he underwent X-rays that came back negative. He'll be re-evaluated when the Magic return to Orlando, and his status for Tuesday's game against the Nets is unclear.

Isaac has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against Atlanta due to an apparent left leg injury, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac fell awkwardly in the first quarter of Sunday's matchup and grabbed his left leg afterward. While he was able to walk to the locker room under his own power, he'll be ineligible to return to the game since he was unable to take his free throws after sustaining his injury. Before departing, he was held scoreless (0-2 FT) with one rebound in two minutes. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available Tuesday against Brooklyn.

Head coach Jamahl Mosley said Isaac will limited to around 14-to-16 minutes during Wednesday's game versus the Knicks, Jake Chapman of the Magic Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac has dealt with extensive injuries throughout his career, and the Magic will be cautious with him on the second night of a back-to-back Wednesday. Isaac is averaging 5.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 18.0 minutes across his last five outings.

Isaac won't start Wednesday's game against the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac is cleared to suit up after playing just eight minutes Monday, but he'll revert to a bench role, as Markelle Fultz will reclaim his starting spot. Isaac has appeared in eight of Orlando's last nine games, averaging 5.9 points and 3.0 rebounds in 15.1 minutes during that stretch.

Isaac isn't on the Magic injury report for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac started and played just eight minutes in Monday's 131-129 loss to the Maverick before leaving the game for undisclosed reasons. According to Fawzan Amer of "The Sixth Man Show" podcast, the Magic had planned going into the night to limit Isaac's minutes for the second leg of the back-to-back set, so his early exit Monday was already predetermined. Isaac will presumably be available without restrictions Wednesday, and he's seemingly moved into a larger role after he was part of the Magic closing lineup for Sunday's 113-98 win over the Suns. He'll likely be back on the bench Wednesday after starting Monday, but Isaac could still clear 20 minutes like he had in both of his two outings prior to the eight-minute start.

Isaac is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac will make his first start since Jan.1 2020. He has been sharp defensively for Orlando this season and joins Jalen Suggs, Franz Wagner, Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter in a jumbo-sized lineup Monday.

Isaac played 23 minutes and finished with nine points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal in Sunday's 113-98 win over the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
After playing no more than 17 minutes in 16 consecutive appearances from Nov. 19 through Jan. 22, Isaac has now cleared 20 minutes in two straight contests. Though the Magic are primarily deploying him as the primary backup to Paolo Banchero, Isaac has been able to pick up extra playing time at the other forward spot and as a backup center thanks to his ranginess and defensive versatility. Isaac should primarily be viewed as a streaming option for steals and blocks if he continues to see 20-plus minutes, but he could become more of a longer-term hold if he's able to pair the defensive production with increased usage on the offensive end. On an encouraging note, the Magic appear to be confident in the oft-injured Isaac's health; he's not on the injury report for Monday's game in Dallas and looks poised to be available for the second leg of the back-to-back set.

Isaac finished with 10 points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and five rebounds across 22 minutes during Friday's 107-106 loss to Memphis.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac played a season-high 22 minutes in the loss, though his production was modest. Despite being relatively healthy this season, Isaac is not the fantasy player he once was. Outside the top 180 for the season, he can be ignored in most standard formats.

Isaac (hamstring) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac is good to go Friday after missing Orlando's previous contest due to a right hamstring injury. He is averaging 5.2 points and 3.2 rebounds in 13.6 minutes across his last five appearances.
