Bruh

It’s time to call it a career and do something else. Feel absolutely terrible for the man but at least he’s made a fuck ton of money playing this sport

he has 2 more years making 8 figures. If I had to amputate a leg I wouldn't retire

Contract is no longer fully guaranteed because he didn't meet a minimum requirement of playing time

How do the rules work for this? Probably only works if they missed time for injury? Otherwise wouldn’t a team be able to just bench a player if they didn’t want to pay out the full contract.

Yes, you're right, and in Isaac's case, it was due to one injury after another. He was playing only 10 minutes per game after months of practicing, scrimmages, multiple surgery for multiple injuries, etc. He could have been a DPOY had he stayed healthy, but at this point it feels like that's officially done.

Cool thanks, hadn’t heard of that rule before. And I agree, he showed a lot of potential before all his injuries but his body clearly can’t handle NBA basketball. His offense wasn’t all that bad either.

It's not an NBA rule, it was just a clause of his contract. ... Mr. Glass Claus

It was a provision in his contract, so not necessarily a rule thing. It's definitely not a guarantee that his career is done or anything, but this recent injury is probably going to require at least fourth months of recovery, and considering JI himself, it ought to be longer -- much longer. Dude could've been one of the best defenders in league history, imo. Just didn't work out.

Sitting a healthy player who would otherwise be part of the rotation to so you don’t have to pay him money is:1) a horrible look to every player you want to sign for the next five years. 2) good grounds for a grievance from the players union.

The real blessing from God his pastor was talking about. You guys need to run and never look back.

his church aint gona like him to much once they realize he cant donate no more lol

non guaranteed he gets waived 100%

The second year isn't fully guaranteed, so 8 figures, then 7 figures.

How ever will he survive?!

Time to stock up on ramen

Non-guarantees, the Magic are gonna waive him at the earliest possible chance.

As we should, dude cannot stay on the court

Wrong!! No guarantees left

He’s been setting up to become a conservative preacher for a while now from what I remember lol

He gonna make even more money doing that

[Enes Kanter and Jonathan Isaac on the Daily Caller](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Jc6jiyqYPQ)

Starting frontcourt for Prager University

Enes Kanter and Jonathan Isaac showed up STRONG against the Deep State Liberals 82 strawmen arguments 🔥 🔥 🔥 40 vaccines refused 💉💉💉 32 dog whistles 🦴 🦴 🦴 GOAT duo?

Sam Dekker at SF, who do we have for a back court?

John Stockton and Danny Ainge if we're okay with retired players

The whole team is out of the league I don't think we're being picky lol

You just took this joke to the next level. A+ work.

Copeland literally looks and talks like a demon and he's worth like 750mil Crazy

Knicks legend Chris Copeland??

Melbourne Tiger GOAT Lanard Copeland

Who knows the bible better than the Devil though?

OH SHIT. Ain't he the dude that was like, "Jesus healed my injury!" Lmao God said stop the cap.

Classic prankster Jesus

Yup. And they'll say things like "he only played 11 games after refusing to kneel for the woke NBA" without mentioning his injuries. That base will eat it up.

He could probably be on a talk show with Candace owens

Didn't he already do that?

It’s super easy to grift people on the right. He’ll make more money

just bring up pronouns, use the word “woke” at least twice and trans people for no reason, then you got at least a million dollar contract with the Daily Wire

Fox News would love to have him as an analyst too I bet

sadly, he's leaned into the "hateful religious" type instead of the "love everyone religious" type

This is just in time to make CPAC...

Thankfully for him, he's already kickstarted his off court career as a token black conservative pundit.

Dude clearly wants to be a preacher and a grifter so I say go for it

I dont feel terrible for him, look at him off the court. Fuck him. Maybe I feel sorry for the magic.

Magic is owned by the Devos family fuck them too nobody to feel bad for here. (ok maybe magic fans. Sorry to all 13 of you)

> Maybe I feel sorry for the magic. Magic fans sure but fuck Magic owners.

I don't really for bad for him tbh. He's a fucking dumbass and he made his money. If he never got a nice contract maybe I'd feel bad

He can become a pastor.

He's gonna be on the campaign trail with DeSantis within a year

COMPLETELY HEALED

Jesus. He really doesn’t play at all

Those 11 games weren't even full games either. He was on a 10 minute restriction with no back to backs which is basically the most caution return I've ever seen

Shit even Klay was playing 16+ his first few games back.

How does this dude still believe in god

Probably helps being a millionaire

God is just trying to test him. Without going through the tough times you can't appreciate the good ones. It's like when God tests children by giving them cancer

Another example is God tests Jon Jones all the time. He's about to get tested on Ciryl Gane's knuckle to his head tomorrow too hopefully.

45 games in 4 years. Just a bit over 1100 minutes in 4 years if you prefer that

Someone do an analysis of dollar-earned per minute-played.

About $43,610 a minute

Id do it for $42,000 a minute

how about $41,952.60?

absolutely not I know my worth

not a bad life ngl

he plays 10 mins and makes over 3 years of my salary

Just need an opportunity to flaunt that six figure salary huh

Tbf at the same rate, Isaac playing for ten minutes would make over 3x my annual income as well and I don't make six figures.

Some people make that in a year. Now I want to know how much the highest paid NBA player makes per minute

I don’t thats harmful information lol

Its quite an accomplishment when you make AD, Kawhi, and Zion look like ironmen.

Anthony Davis: 176 games played in that timeframe Kawhi Leonard: 147 games played in that timeframe Zion Williamson: 114 games played in that timeframe All regular season only

I don't think Jesus is helping, by the looks of it

He's just pushing him to his true calling outside of basketball as a pastor/Fox News contributor

I mean, you absolutely know he’s gonna say “God was telling me basketball wasn’t for me by constantly fucking up my body and my quality of life”, in slightly different terms.

“God really fricked up my body so he could frick up my heart”

in 2 years we’ll see him on Fox News claiming schools pushed out Jesus and replaced him with pronouns

He'll be their black Rittenhouse that escaped the barbaric NBA with his faith miraculously intact.

Don’t worry, we’ll hear about how Jesus is just giving him a challenge even though we literally just heard a sermon about how Jesus gave him the power to recover from his injury. This Jesus guy sounds like kind of a troll lol.

Jesus gaveth. Now he taketh away.

Jesus only helps when things go good

Jesus is a front runner confirmed

Chuck: Jesus is not a bus driver.

Ben Simmons jealous af

He boomed me - Benjamin Simmons

Jesus said he’s on his own now

COMPLETELY

HEALED

X3!

Came here looking for the 1,2,3 combo. Was not disappointed.

Bruh i was tempted but couldnt bring myself to do it lmao

UserName checks out 😂 Satan, I knew you were stronger than Jesus all along. No wonder Knicks been winning 7 games in a row.

No wonder he couldn’t kneel, it would’ve destroyed his legs

COMPLETELY KNEELED COMPLETELY KNEELED COMPLETELY KNEELED

This one. This one is wild bruh

YO😭😭😭

It’s Joever.

Career might be over

He never had one to start with. Fewer than 150 games played since getting drafted in 2017

Same draft, he's about 25 games behind fultz, and about 100 behind lonzo.

Most injury riddled draft class ever

1986. Nothing tops the absolute shambles of the 1986 NBA draft. The best player went at the end of the first round, the second best player went deep in the second and the top 10...the top 10 is about six 30-for-30s.

Thats disrespectful to suns legend Jeff Hornacek or "horny" as he liked to be called. Maybe I dunno I just know advanced stats love the guy. Who's the best player for your money, sabonis? Rodman went at the start of the second if thats your thought cause back then their were 6 draft rounds

He probably meant Sabonis, since he was the last pick of the 1st round.

Damn how old is domantas sabonis

58

Sabonis, Mark Price, Rodman, Duckworth, Hornacek, Petrovic Petrovic all pick 24 and later. That's a solid enough draft class if that was your top 10.

I like when my top 10 has 6 players in it, certainly better than when it has 15

Wow blast from the past Craziest thing about checking this out was seeing the *7 ROUNDS* of the draft

Even if dude never plays ball again he would have made over 90 million dollars just from NBA contracts. Might not be a long one but it’s definitely a career.

But he’s making money right?

Luckily his career as a right wing shill is just starting

Has a future career as a pastor tho

Gonna make more money as a daily wire host anyway

how is he going to spin this as "The woke NBA cancelled me, a potential all-star type player" ?

I'll take a stab at it. "Woke nba libs interrupted my perfect training schedule with the COVID vaccine and I was injury-ridden as a result." Any errors in the timeline there don't matter because facts don't matter.

That’s all he needs to say. Doesn’t have to be true. Even Enes Freedom made it work

How can he trust a doctor with surgery?! Is the doctor woke??? /s

completely healed.

[https://i.imgur.com/jKC9UqA.png](https://i.imgur.com/jKC9UqA.png)

images preceding unfortunate events

*Completely* healed!

completely healed

Hey, it wasn’t his ACL, that’s all *I* healed - Jesus

Now he has time to team up with Enes Freedom for their podcast on the Daily Wire

The right wing grift industry is a lot easier than defending the high pick and roll

Hahaha please elaborate Edit: nvm I found it https://www.dailywire.com/news/nba-star-jonathan-isaac-talks-faith-reveals-why-he-refused-to-kneel-for-black-lives-matter Daily Wire reporters bricked up for this dude to come play for their identity politics team

Wow. Fox News got their guy.

That priest was a fraud.

I want my thoughts & prayers back

No refunds and no warranty. Claim is denied.

I bet this was the vaccines fault! /s

Yeah his career is basically just a speed run of injuries, sad because he’s such a ultra-talented long boy who I liked at FSU

jesus Isaac went to FSU too, they really have a type

No, Jonathan Isaac went to FSU. Jesus posted up at Holy Cross.

Bob Cousy was throwing him dimes all day, every day.

Bro wtf

He’s gotta retire after this contract right? Doesn’t matter how good you are if you only manage one three-week semi-healthy spell in four years.

He can keep getting the bag from teams willing to gamble on his “potential” Long bois that can defend and shoot will always get paid

God really works in a mysterious way

He gets us

HIS plan

God told Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac and stopped him short and said, "Wait, just give me the dick skin instead". Maybe God needs more Isaac dick skin?

You really wrote out dick skin, pressed reply and left us with this shit

God really works in a mysterious way

Holy fuck I hate (love) this sub

Looks like he tore his left adductor muscle trying to pull himself up by his own bootstraps. You hate to see it.

I guess his side hustle as a NBA player has ended and he can start preaching on TV against vaccines.

If you know televangelists, then you know he’ll be making more money doing that than hooping

Completely healed

Guess he didn't pray hard enough in rehab, lol

God has a plan for us all Mr Isaac 🙏 for you, it’s earning $40 million dollars to play less than two full seasons in a six year career

Can you believe this man has played 47 fewer games than Marvin Bagley, and yet was drafted 2 years earlier than him??

That happens when you don't listen to science, kids. Look at LeBron. Took all of his shots. Never injured. Worst injury kept him out a couple of weeks. 😂

I can only imagine the conversations he thinks he's having with god right now

NOT COMPLETELY HEALED.

Completely healed

I'm sure this is god's plan. Lmao

The worst part is even after not playing for two years he came out still looking like an eventual DPOY candidate.

Gonna be one of those dudes that explodes out of nowhere at age 29 in the playoffs off the bench.

Fully healed x2

He was until the Democrats sabotaged him

God's plan I guess.

There’s a “Why I Can’t Stand” book joke here somewhere but I’m not smart enough to make it.

I guess the prayers didn’t work out

THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU to sit 95% of your career

*Why I Sit* by Jonathan Isaac.

Jesus is just guiding him to his true calling of being a religious preacher. He sent Jonathan to the NBA to steal $70 million to fund his church.

They would have but there hasn’t been enough mass school shooting sacrifices this year to make his career come back YET. But he got 11 games.

Does this mean he can do another documentary with Ben Shapiro?!

He should sue the religious guy that said he is completely healed.

Didn’t take a knee so God is taking his ✊🏿

Bruh cursed himself when he didn’t kneel for the cause smh

God really looking out for his heath

Isaac asked God to give him his toughest battles and God said lmao bet

Maybe he just needs to pray harder

Might be a top ten unlucky NBA player at this rate god damn

To be fair, he’s parlaying this into another tax-free gig where he’ll make millions of dollars. One man’s unlucky is another man’s goldmine.

Fox News got their guy

Just fucking retire and fill in for Tucker Carlson every once in awhile. They babied him for 3 years, he comes back and plays 10mpg, 11x, and he's broken again

God's plan!

Grand opening grand closing

Ain’t no way. Ain’t no fucking way

Greg Oden thinks this guy is cursed

Maybe he'll claim vaccine injury

I just said what the fuck out loud in the middle of the airport terminal

but... completely healed...

He said "Jesus take the wheel" but Jesus was too lit 😂

Seems God doesn't really like this guy
