Orlando Magic

Izaiyah Nelson

F

Nelson sustained the fracture during Sunday's Summer League win over Portland and is now in danger of missing the start of the 2026-27 campaign. The No. 51 overall pick in this year's draft signed a two-way contract with the Magic and isn't expected to have a consistent role with the parent club once he returns.

Jase Richardson

G

Richardson will sit out the second leg of a Summer League back-to-back set, but he should return for Wednesday's meeting with the 76ers. TyTy Washington will draw the start in Richardson's absence Sunday, and there should be more minutes available for Keon Johnson.

Jonathan Isaac

F

The Magic waived Isaac on June 27, but there was always mutual interest in a return. Across 52 regular-season appearances during the 2025-26 campaign, Isaac produced averages of 2.6 points and 2.5 rebounds in 10.0 minutes per contest before a left knee sprain sidelined him through the end of the season. He's likely going to be facing an uphill battle for playing time in 2026-27.

Franz Wagner

F

Wagner will end up missing the final three games of the series while tending to a right calf strain. Even if the Magic were to emerge victorious and move onto the Semifinals, there's no guarantee that Wagner would be available for the start of that series. Anthony Black and Jamal Cain will continue to work in extended roles in Wagner's absence.
