The Orlando Magic have waived forward Jonathan Isaac. The move will save the franchise $6.5 million, according to ESPN's Bobby Marks.

No additional details about the circumstances of the waiver or Isaac's future plans were immediately available. The decision removes one of the longer-tenured figures from the Magic roster at a time when the franchise is evaluating its offseason options.

Isaac, a former lottery pick, spent his NBA career with Orlando. His time with the team was marked by significant injury absences across multiple seasons. The $6.5 million in savings gives the Magic added flexibility as they shape their roster for the coming year.
