Orlando Magic Bid Farewell to Jonathan Isaac
Orlando Magic Parts Ways with Jonathan Isaac
In a move that left fans scratching their heads, the Orlando Magic have officially waved goodbye to their big man, Jonathan Isaac. This news broke thanks to the ever-reliable Michael Scotto over at HoopsHype.com.
The 28-Year-Old Journey
Isaac, who just turned 28, still had three seasons left on his hefty contract totaling a whopping $44 million. That’s a lot of moolah for someone who’s had a bit of a rocky road with injuries.
A Career Hampered by Injuries
Drafted 6th overall by the Magic in the 2017 NBA Draft, Jonathan’s career has been quite the rollercoaster ride. Imagine being so eager to get on the court and then realizing you’ve only played 276 games over nine seasons! Yikes!
Last Season’s Stats
Last season was particularly tough for Isaac, as he managed to average just 2.6 points and 2.5 rebounds in about 10 minutes on the court. Not exactly the stat line you want to see from a player who was once seen as a bright prospect.
What’s Next?
As the Orlando Magic look to rebuild and reshape the team, it seems like this was the right call. Time will tell where Isaac lands next, but for now, it’s all about moving forward for the Magic!
