I just read that Isaac has had hamstring soreness?

Incredible. Is this true?

Yea missed the last game but probable on the injury report tonight.

The guy can't even play even a few minutes without health issues. Incredible

it's probably just extreme precaution. He could probably go but they're wanting to take it slow with him. But yea, if it's an actual soreness type thing that's ridiculous.

If it was more than one game I would be more concerned. It resulted in more Black minutes and come Caleb minutes which are important to see how he is developing and if he can make shots

if he can't play 60+ games this year he needs to be waived. We're wasting cap space vs making the team better.
A scoring guard.. never heard of one. :roll:

I'm a big big supporter of what he brings, even in limited minutes...but this season is the last shot for me. If he's in and out all the time, move on.

He already played 56 minutes this season, so better to be cautious and slow it down.

I’m one of the biggest JI fans out there. Love what he does, respect his faith, and I went to FSU so there’s that. But with all of that being said, I have to agree with this.

IMO I think he was fine to play in the Dallas game. Just think Orlando is treating him with Fisher-Price gloves right now. The hope has to be that when we get to mid-season, he can play a normal amount of minutes. His defensive intangibles are a big help to the team.

I think Isaac's "load management" is two fold. Yes, it is to give him rest but it's also to provide minutes for other players.

Yeah... I think they are just throwing ish out. With his history they can't get penalized if they claim he is injured even if he isn't.
