Having made a convincing return to the courts this season after numerous injury problems, Jonathan Isaac is capitalizing by signing a new contract.
Jonathan Isaac had one non-guaranteed season left on his contract, but he and the Magic renegotiated to get back on track.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski ofESPNthe new contract signed by Isaac and the Orlando franchise is for $84 million over five years. Around $17 million per season is pretty fair for the Magic when you see the surges in new contracts signed in the NBA, but it’s a win for Isaac to land such a long-term contract when you consider his very busy injury history. It remains to be seen whether the entire $84 million is guaranteed or not.

Jonathan Isaac was able to land this deal thanks to a 2023-24 season in which he was able to shine. His numbers aren’t mind-blowing (6.8 points, 4.5 rebounds per night) but he was part of the Magic’s huge defensive season, the third-best defense in the NBA this year.
With his huge arms, his 2m08, his versatility and his physical impact, Isaac is a defensive monster when he is on the field. He played 58 games this year for 16 minutes on average, and each time he weighed in his half of the field (1.2 against, 0.7 interception). We also remember that coach Jamahl Mosley used him on the 5 position in the Playoffs, with more or less success on the collective level.
Ultimately, this new contract symbolizes the rebirth of Isaac, who is once again part of the Magic’s very exciting project.
