This status update includes that Isaac will be able to participate in official 5-on-5 games for the first time since August 2020. The 25-year-old forward had already begun contact training in 5-on-5 situations early last month. of November.
Isaac tore his ACL in 2020. After a lengthy recovery process, he suffered another setback earlier this year, forcing him to undergo a minor procedure in March. Consequently, Isaac has played only three NBA games since January 1, 2020. Thus, it is not surprising that in Florida they have proceeded with extreme caution with his state of health.
