Magic remain undecided on Jonathan Isaac's (knee) potential return
According to head coach Steve Clifford, Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac's status (knee) for July's restart has not been decided.
What It Means:
Orlando's coaching staff and front office remain non-committal towards Isaac's potential playing status despite a six-month recovery window after suffering his left knee injury in early January. "I just think it's really early to try to make an intelligent decision on anything like that," said Clifford when asked about Isaac's potential return.
If Isaac is unable to play in Orlando, look for Nikola Vucevic to emerge as the Magic's top offensive option. In 1256 minutes with Isaac off the court this season, Vucevic is averaging 1.29 FanDuel points per minute and a usage rate of 26.1%.
