Magic Move On From Jonathan Isaac

Orlando Magic waive Jonathan Isaac after nine seasons, cutting ties just before his $14.5M salary became guaranteed — a move that leaves him free to re-sign cheaply with the team. Drafted sixth in 2017, Isaac’s career was derailed by injuries, limiting him to under 70 games in two seasons and averaging just 7 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks over seven years. Despite elite defensive potential, his development stalled. He’ll be at the press conference for new coach Sean Sweeney. With free agency starting June 30, teams like the Lakers could sniff him, though his market is limited. The Magic, still over the luxury tax, also face pressure to upgrade their bench — with veteran Moritz Wagner likely hitting the open market — as they build around stars Paolo and Franz Wagner.
