LAKELAND, Fla. — Almost 2 1/2 years after playing in his last official basketball game, Jonathan Isaac scored 15 points in 15 minutes Wednesday night in the G League in the Lakeland Magic's 129-117 victory over the Westchester Knicks. Playing without any knee brace or any visual sign of a leg injury, Isaac played in each of the four quarters. He had five rebounds and altered several shots. He dunked twice, missed a dunk, drew three fouls, scored on two layups and hit two mid-range jumpers. Isaac tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee while playing in the NBA's bubble on Aug. 2, 2020. He missed the entire 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons and the first half of this season.
