Isaac was listed as day-to-day with the left knee on September 6, before camp opened. On October 20 the Magic downgraded him to out. He did not play in the wins over Memphis, Cleveland and Miami, or in the loss to Cleveland on October 11. The current estimate puts his return at October 23, with Wednesday's game against the Hawks already crossed off. Until then, the 6-10, 240-pound forward from Florida State stays on the injury report, and the front office has not announced any further timeline.
