Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Ready for training camp

Magic president of basketball operations Jeff Weltman said Monday that Isaac (adductor) will be a full participant in training camp, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.

After missing two straight seasons while recovering from a torn ACL and meniscus suffered at the NBA bubble in Orlando in August 2020 and then a hamstring procedure he underwent in March 2022, Isaac made his long-awaited return to NBA action last January. However, he would appear in only 11 games for the Magic before suffering another hamstring injury shortly after the All-Star break before undergoing another surgery in March to address a torn left adductor muscle. Given Isaac's troubling health history, the Magic are going to exercise caution with him in camp even though he's received full medical clearance. Assuming he comes out of camp and the preseason unscathed, Isaac should capture a rotational role thanks to his prowess on the defensive end.
