Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Isaac (back/rest) isn't listed on Orlando's injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Surprisingly, Isaac is cleared to suit up for the second half of Orlando's back-to-back set after posting 10 points, eight rebounds, two steals and a block in 22 minutes during Tuesday's loss in Houston. The oft-injured forward's workload will likely be monitored, but if Franz Wagner (ankle) sits out again, Isaac should play a significant role versus Milwaukee.

Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Questionable for Tuesday
Rotowire
Isaac (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Houston.
This comes from the official injury report, so fantasy managers won't gain much insight from this. Isaac continues to be day-to-day as he struggles with a back issue that forced him to leave Sunday's game against the Bulls early. If he's cleared, it's safe to expect some restrictions.

Magic's Jonathan Isaac: X-rays on back negative
Rotowire
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.
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.

Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Out against Grizzlies
Rotowire
Isaac will not play in Saturday's matchup with the Grizzlies due to right hamstring maintenance.
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.

His next chance to suit up will come Monday versus Portland.

Rotowire
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.
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.

Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Productive in limited minutes
Rotowire
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.
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.
