Jonathan Isaac ‘sickening’ injury is crushing to Magic’s future | Commentary

Not just to Jonathan Isaac’s future as an NBA player, but to the Orlando Magic’s future as a viable NBA franchise.

Don’t kid yourself, Jonathan Isaac was the potential young star the Magic had hoped to build their franchise around on and off the court for years to come. But now, after the injury-prone Isaac sadly reinjured his left knee and tore his ACL in Sunday night’s 132-116 victory over the Sacramento Kings, the organization’s grand plan is on life support.

“Sickening,” said Jeff Weltman, the Magic’s president of basketball operations, when asked his feelings and emotions when Isaac went down with the injury.
