Magic Waive Jonathan Isaac to Clear $6.5 Million in Cap Space

The Orlando Magic have officially waived forward Jonathan Isaac, a move that provides the franchise with $6.5 million in salary cap relief. Selected with the No. 6 pick in the 2017 draft, Isaac's tenure was significantly impacted by injuries, most notably a torn left ACL suffered in August 2020 that sidelined him for two full seasons. The decision marks a major roster shift as Orlando looks to adjust its financial flexibility and reallocate resources for the upcoming season.
