Orlando Magic DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (hip) picks up another questionable tag for their Monday night matchup against the Indiana Pacers. The defensive-minded wing has missed each of the last two games after picking up the hip injury in the team's first game. The Magic have been erring on the side of caution with Isaac, so he remains questionable. If he has to miss another game, Moritz Wagner should see an uptick in minutes.

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (hip) will miss Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets due to a left hip contusion. The 27-year-old left early in Wednesday's game versus the Miami Heat after just 11 minutes of play, where he posted three points and three rebounds. His absence will likely lead to an increase in minutes for Moritz Wagner and Wendell Carter. Isaac's next opportunity to get back on the court could be as soon as Saturday when the Magic take on the Memphis Grizzlies.

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (hip) suffered a bruised left hip during the team's season opener against the Miami Heat on Wednesday. Head coach Jamahl Mosley said, "He'll be questionable tonight just to see where he is as we go into the game." Isaac has a long history of injuries, so the team seems to be careful any time he doesn't feel fully ready to go. He plays a big part in the team's defense off of the bench, but if he can't suit up there could be some more minutes spread around to Tristan Da Silva and Franz Wagner.

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac was limited to 11 minutes in Wednesday's season opener against Miami due to left hip soreness. He came off the bench in the contest to log three points, three rebounds, one steal, and two blocks. Isaac has been troubled by injuries throughout his career, and unfortunately, he has to deal with another issue right at the beginning of a new campaign. Moritz Wagner will likely pick up most of Isaac's minutes if he can't play on Friday versus Brooklyn. Wagner is a great energy guy off the bench and had seven points and six rebounds with two assists in 16 minutes versus the Heat.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs just cashed in on a massive deal after being named to an All-Defensive team last season. The former fifth-overall pick agreed to a five-year extension that will pay him $150.5 million to stay in Orlando. With Cole Anthony remaining on the bench and Markelle Fultz not on the team anymore, Suggs is primed to take on an even bigger role on both sides of the ball. Last year was his healthiest season so far as he appeared in 75 games and averaged 12.6 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.0 threes, 1.4 steals, and 1.8 turnovers per game while shooting 47.1% from the floor and 39.7% from beyond the arc.
