After the Orlando Magic’s shootaround Friday morning, there was a tinge of disappointment in the air.
Both Jonathan Isaac and president of basketball operations Jeff Weltman addressed the media, reacting to the announcement that Jonathan Isaac would be out indefinitely with a severe knee sprain. The team was going to be without one of its most important players. He was someone that was key to their identity.
Isaac could switch onto any player, stifling them with his length. Isaac is selfless and defensive-minded, an embodiment of who the Magic want to be.
