Magic Re-Sign Isaac to Team-Friendly Deal
2 Jul
Summary
- Jonathan Isaac signed a one-year contract with the Magic.
- The Magic previously waived Isaac to restructure his contract.
- Isaac's new deal saves the team approximately $4 million.
Jonathan Isaac is returning to the Orlando Magic after signing a new one-year contract, as officially announced on Wednesday. The team had previously waived Isaac over the weekend, a move that allowed them to avoid fully guaranteeing his $14.5 million salary for the 2026-27 season. While still owed $8 million in guaranteed money, the new deal is team-friendly and saves the Magic roughly $4 million.
Isaac's return follows other reported agreements, including deals with Nikola Vucevic and Jevon Carter, and the retention of Jamal Cain and draftee Izaiyah Nelson. His veteran minimum deal will have a projected cap hit of $2.4 million. Throughout his career, Isaac has averaged 6.8 points and 4.5 rebounds, though his tenure has been significantly impacted by injuries.
