After making national headlines for standing for the national anthem and giving the gospel in an interview after the Orlando Magic’s first game back in the restarted NBA season, Jonathan Isaac tears his ACL.
(Sports Spectrum) Midway through the fourth quarter of the Orlando Magic’s 132-116 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Sunday, third-year forward Jonathan Isaac drove through the lane, hop-stepped and tore the ACL in his left knee.
It was just his second game since Jan. 1, when he hyperextended his left knee was expected to miss the rest of the 2019-20 season. Instead, he missed only the next 31 games before the season was paused due to the coronavirus pandemic. Isaac scored 16 points in 16 minutes on Friday in the Magic’s first game since the restart, but will now miss the remainder of the season.
Isaac remained positive Monday morning, when he referenced 2 Kings 4 and 2 Corinthians 4 in a Twitter post: “Thank you for all of your prayers and concerns, I’m encouraged. Remember our God is not just a God of the hills but a God of the valleys!”
