Orlando Magic bei Portland Trail Blazers

Black is being held out of practices as a precaution, and it remains to be seen if this will impact Black's availability for the start of preseason. At this point, it's hard to imagine this minor setback jeopardizing his status for Opening Night.

Isaac suffered his left knee sprain late in the 2025-26 regular season and missed Orlando's entire first-round playoff series against Detroit. The veteran forward said he spent the summer rehabbing his knee and isn't fully ready for camp, though he indicated that the expectation is for him to be fine. His activity level will be worth monitoring as the preseason approaches.

There aren't many details yet, but it sounds like a minor issue that the Magic will handle carefully. It's unclear if this will linger into the preseason. Orlando's first exhibition is scheduled for Oct. 7.

It's a tough blow to the Trail Blazers' depth on the wing ahead of training camp. Sharpe, who is now likely to be sidelined until after the All-Star break, had been ticketed for a reserve role behind Toumani Camara following an injury-plagued 2025-26 campaign, which saw average a career-high 20.8 points, 1.4 steals and 2.1 three-pointers per game over 50 regular-season appearances. The door is now open for Vit Krejci and Jeremy Sochan to compete for bench minutes during camp.
