Orlando's Jonathan Isaac (knee) 'most likely will not be healthy enough to return'
Orlando Magic power forward Jonathan Isaac (knee) is not expected to return this season.
The Magic will see first how Isaac looks during rehab but do not expect him to play again this season after suffering a knee injury on January 1st. "There’s a difference of being healthy and then being safely healthy," said Jeff Weltman President of the Magic's Basketball Operations. "It will have been a long, long time since those guys played and you know organizationally that we’re never going to put our guys in a position where they’re exposed to any sort of risk of injury."
With Isaac unlikely to play again, Nikola Vucevic has produced the highest usage rate at 26.8% this season. In 1256 minutes with Isaac off the court, the Magic center is averaging 0.61 FanDuel points per minute and 0.53 Field Goal Attempts.
