Magic sign Jonathan Isaac to one-year deal after waiving him

Summary

The Orlando Magic signed veteran forward Jonathan Isaac to a new one-year deal, as announced on Wednesday. The contract details remain undisclosed, but Isaac was waived to avoid guaranteeing his $14.5 million salary for the 2026-27 season. The Magic still owe him $8 million in guaranteed money. This past season, Isaac missed the final 17 games due to a left knee sprain. The team's decision to re-sign him follows agreements with center Nikola Vucevic and guard Jevon Carter. The new deal incurs a projected $2.4 million cap hit, allowing the Magic to save approximately $4 million while retaining Isaac.
