The Orlando Magic are bringing back Jonathan Isaac on a one-year deal, a source told Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel.

The Magic recently waived the former sixth overall pick with three seasons remaining on his five-year, $84-million contract extension.

Isaac averaged career lows in points (2.6) and rebounds (2.5) across 52 appearances last season. The 6-foot-10 forward has struggled to stay healthy throughout his career.

He was sidelined from 2020-22 after suffering a torn left ACL and meniscus in August 2020.

Isaac gives the Magic some additional frontcourt depth behind Wendell Carter Jr. and Paolo Banchero.

Orlando reportedly reunited with Nikola Vucevic on a one-year, $3.9-million contract earlier Wednesday.
