The Orlando Magic waive forward Jonathan Isaac, the team announced Saturday, concluding his injury-shortened stint in Orlando. Isaac was selected with the No. 6 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. After entering the league with the Magic, he played 75 games during the 2018-19 season, a period that followed a more limited early role. In August 2020, during the NBA’s restart, Isaac tears his left ACL. He subsequently misses the following two seasons while recovering from surgery. The move removes Isaac from the Magic roster and ends the organization’s association with a player drafted to a prominent spot five years ago. The sources agree on the basic timeline: Isaac’s selection at No. 6 in 2017, his 75-game stretch in 2018-19, and the left ACL injury in August 2020 that leads to extended time away from the court. The reports do not describe additional details of the waiver process beyond the team’s decision and its effect on his contract status.
