Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac is going through the revolving door after being waived by the team earlier in the week and coming back just a few days later.Orlando Sentinel reporter Jason Beede was the first to report the news.Breaking News: The #Magic are signing Jonathan Isaac to a one-year deal, a league source tells the @orlandosentinel.— Jason Beede (@therealBeede) July 1, 2026Jonathan Isaac Returns to Magic on DiscountThe Magic wanted Isaac back in the fold, but not at the $14.5 million price tag he was owed on his contract. Cutting him saved Orlando $8 million, but some of that will be used to likely sign a new minimum contract.Therefore, the Magic keep Isaac as a reliable backup power forward and defensive-minded big man, but at a price that aligns more with how much he's expected to play. Isaac isn't going to play much for the Magic and he likely won't be in Sean Sweeney's 10-man rotation, but he can step up and slide in whenever he's needed.Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
