Markelle Fultz, Jonathan Isaac appear likely to play in Magic opener

With just one more day of practice before NBA-restart seeding games tip off, Orlando Magic coach Steve Clifford held off on confirming whether Markelle Fultz and Jonathan Isaac will be in the lineup against the Brooklyn Nets on Friday.

Isaac is coming off a knee injury that has sidelined him since January while Fultz continues to work his way into better playing shape after arriving a week late to the NBA campus on Disney World property. Isaac played seven minutes during Monday’s scrimmage against the Denver Nuggets — his first game action in nearly seven months — and Fultz played close to nine minutes in his restart debut.
