Isaac sustained a left knee sprain and is out without a timetable.
Orlando Magic big man Jonathan Isaac will be unavailable on an uncertain timeline after an MRI has shown he suffered from a left knee sprain.

Isaac sustained the injury during the team's 136-131 overtime win over the Washington Wizards. In the third quarter, Isaac went down hard after a failed alley-oop attempt.
He was subsequently announced as unavailable to return.
Isaac's looming absence serves as another gut-wrenching blow in Orlando's lineup. Despite playing just 10 minutes and averaging 2.6 points and 2.5 rebounds in 52 games, Isaac remains an important cog in the Magic frontcourt.
"My heart dropped, especially the way he went down," Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley said after the game about Isaac. "Seeing that, now prayfully, God willing, he's okay. That initial reaction took a lot of what this game was out of me and out of our players. That's what was felt.
"It took a lot of the energy out of the group because they know one of their brothers goes down, especially Jonathan, who we know what he's been through. So just continue to pray for him and where he is with what's going on."
