Magic forward Jonathan Isaac has faith he will recover from injury
As a devout Christian, Johnathan Isaac rarely lets life get in the way of his beliefs that all things happen through Jesus Christ.
Doubts were inevitable on Aug. 2 during a Magic game at ESPN Wide Worlf Sports. Lying on the floor, writhing in pain, Isaac had just recovered from seven months of rehabilitation for a knee injury and was thinking to himself, “Why God? Why me and why another injury.”
This time it was a torn ACL, the FSU product’s third devastating injury since being selected by the Magic as the No. 6 choice in the 2017 NBA draft. If not for injuries, the just-completed NBA season would have been Isaac’s third as a professional.
