ORLANDO – Up in weight some 11 pounds and his bothersome right ankle finally healthy, Orlando Magic rookie Jonathan Isaac pronounced himself as being ``back to where I was’’ and eager for his return to game action.
Isaac, the Magic’s No. 6 pick in last June’s NBA Draft, hasn’t played since Dec. 26 and only sparingly since severely spraining his right ankle on Nov. 11. After two ill-fated comebacks that were cut short by recurring pain in the ankle, the Magic shut Isaac down indefinitely so that he could focus on strengthening his ankle and adding weight to his rail-thin 6-foot-10 frame.
