The team announced the forward is now out indefinitely.

-- the Magic player who stood for the national anthem and did not wear a BLM shirt before Orlando's game last Friday -- has torn his ACL and will miss the rest of the season, the team announced Sunday.

Isaac gained national attention just 3 days ago ... when he became the league's first player in the NBA bubble restart to stand for the anthem.Wearing his Magic jersey and warmup sweats ... Isaac stood with his hands behind his back and bowed his head during the song -- and after the game, he explained he didn'tBut, Isaac, playing in just his second game since the Friday gesture ... drove the lane against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday and blew out his knee.

The video is tough to watch ... Isaac's leg buckled -- and afterward, the Magic said the 22-year-old is now"out indefinitely and his return to the court will depend on how he responds to treatment and rehabilitation." Isaac had started 32 games for Orlando this season ... and averaged 11.9 points per game and 6.8 rebounds per game.

Only one other player, meanwhile, followed in Isaac's anthem-standing footsteps in the NBA's restart this past weekend ... Miami Heat's"I am with the Black Lives Matter movement and I love and support the military and my brother and the people who have fought to defend our rights in this country."

Get Better !!!

And look-his team mates surrounded him!

Has 0 correlation with standing for what's right... Hes one of the few that is not in denial ... Black folks gotta stop acting like def retarded 3 year olds when they run into the police.

I just don’t get what the two have to do with each other.... the media is truly poison... 🤨

Should of kneeled..what a clown I bet he smash beckys..

I wouldn't have knelt down to lift him up...

Poetic justice! Now he can’t stand😝!

Sales of his jersey shot up.

FOX5Atlanta You could have left out the last 4 words in headline. His injury has nothing to do with this bullshit kneeling going on. tmz is scum anyways

Karma got him quick

OGUN

His punk a** should've been kneeling with his teammates instead of standing for that slave anthem

And you just gonna run with the story over and over and over again

Lol at white people celebrating a black Christian man getting hurt for not following along like they told him. 😂

I don't know what to say.

Karma is a bitch.

But this guys white..

Race bait much tmz?

Thats' fvckd up. Wish him a speedy recovery. Anyways... what do you wish us ? ZimbabweanLivesMatter ZimbabweLivesMatter ZimbabweanslivesMatter spread the word we need you right now. Save lives

Great headline. He stood so he fell basically? Christ you guys are as bad as the BostonGlobe

A white player and a white coach didn’t kneel either.

VOTE

🔥

God don’t like ugly! Karma always has a way of coming back to get what’s hers. Enjoy that break sir

Karma is a BIATTCHH. BLM, black magic works, black juju, beg the gods 4 forgiveness.

AnThEm StAnDiNg DeMoNsTrAtIoN

Karma's a bitch 😭

Ok and, is there suppose to be some type of correlation

Interesting how you phrase this..

the way you are reporting it the standing caused it. i prefer the ones standing than the ones kneeling the kneeling oneya just need so.eons dick in their mouth to suck on

I bet most of y’all didn’t even know who he was until he was in the spotlight for not kneeling that’s why they mentioned it, STFU already karma got his ass it’s done and so is his season

This is why we ppl can not trust what the media puts out there. I’ve noticed a lot of these headlines lately that try to sway people in one way or another. It’s bad journalism.

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Coon

Fucking sad headline

One has NOTHING to do with the other. What a stupid fucking headline!

Fuck anybody who celebrates this guy getting hurt.

Damn, if only he knelt as well huh?

GOD took his knee.

I wonder what Kobe must have done to get the “karma” he got. Dumb ass head line capitalizing on someones misfortune.

What the NBA is doing is a good thing. We came from burning the city down to kneeling for 30 seconds. Why is this an issue Should they go back to burning down the city Wth!

He was basically saying as a christian you dont kneel for justice. Very confusing. Something had to happen to set the record straight.

The black gods took his knee out for not kneeling

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽NOBODY Deserves Any Type Of Injury!! Regardless Of Their Beliefs!!

Lmaoooo

Damn you deep state. You've got it all figured out. Now he'll have to sit for the anthem

So standing for the Anthem is now called a demonstration?

Jesus Christ, you're reaching.

When the universe says you must kneel

Shut up

What does him standing have to do with tearing his ACL. I don’t get it HELP PLEASE.

Stupid title

I don't give a damn what a racist say! Nothing but cowards😂😂😂

reminds me of the story of Job in the bible. pay close attention.

Man drowns a week after drinking a glass of water That's how your headline sounds

Why not post a headline .... NHL has to be racist for this 'Standing Demonstration'

I can’t stand the media

😂😂😂😂 he will sit down now😂😂😂😂

Those who kneel are weak

So?

One thing has nothing to do with the other.

What does him standing for the Anthem, have to do with him tearing his ACL? Such a dumb headline.

C'mon TMZ, be better....weak headline

🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

KameronBennett

TMZ your entertainment news is disgusting.

Totally connected

Everybody crying karma 🤣🤣 what about the game he played and nothing happened lol Orlando makes the finals and he gets injured KaRMa

Oh because it’s related to one another 🙄

OGUN

Welp, guess he won’t be kneeling after all...

LMAOOOOO , that’s wtf he get gon stand for the anthem with the ppl who hate us because of our skin

Standing is a demonstration now? Hit a new low with this headline, even for you guys. He's had knee issues, but way to suggest karma. Complete idiots lol

'Anthem standing demonstration'....twisted ideology.

That was sabotage!

One has nothing to do with the other.

KameronBennett People were asking were we gonna cancel him but his ACL did it for us...

Man, sometimes karma works really, really fast...

KARMA, BITCH!!! KAAAAAAAAAAAARMAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Where’s Black Jesus?

Wait? What does his stance on anything have to do with his injury? 🤦🏻‍♀️ somehow everything has to be political geez

Typical liberal media headline.

FYI, 'standing' isn't a demonstration. twisted

Harvey Levin breathes oxygen a d drinks water. Adolph Hitler also breathed oxygen and drank water-- you see where I'm going with this?

There goes that little person creating gossip where there is none. It was a dam injury.

This is your left liberal media at work. They post this to incite hatred and arguing among the races and parties. You are being fooled if you think otherwise. Despite what they want you to believe it’s the democrats who promote racial and political divide in the country. MAGA

KameronBennett Welp.....karma

Two days after a lot of things that have nothing to do with the ACL

And somebody who kneels tonight will probably get injured. It's sports

Gods Work 😇

What does one thing have to do with the other? Was he targeted?

Took the knee from this nigga Lmfaooo

Anthem standing demonstration. Wow.

The witches put a curse on him . Black magic .

One thing has nothing to do with the other one. If we going to talk right and/or making voices be heard then that goes for everyone not one group only.

So y’all waiting for Meyers Leonard to tear his acl too?

Then you gonna say it's God fault. 😔

Charles Barkley on anthem kneeling 'If people don't kneel they're not a bad person'

KameronBennett If you black and u making jokes. You are apart of the issue, weird ass niggas

Thank's for reminding me to block tmz.

Now standing is a demonstration? Agenda much?

That what he gon get!

Hate to see this for this classy young man...stay strong with your faith brother!

He missed 31 games earlier in the season with knee problems, the narrative however is more exciting though isn’t it? Hardly karma.

Divine

His God showing him he should have kneeled 🤔

Good! Dumb ass Nicca!!!!

Whoops!

What does one thing have to do with another? Nothing

God took the knee for him.

The title.... really?

Why do you need to point out that Jonathan Isaac stood for the anthem? That’s what they ALL should be doing

He better pray!

still lies 2 days after torn ligament

That's really your headline? come on TMZ, I know you're TMZ but you can at least make an attempt at human decency... Geez man.

Anybody seen the Clintons laty?

Demonstration? FOH harvey

You guys are disgusting

Petty headline 🤣🤣. Love it

So what does one have to do with the other?

Maybe it’s a sign.

God Don`t Like UGLY a.k.a LIARS

Damn TMZ, to go that low with that headline is ridiculous.

No sympathy for wrongly using Jesus Christ to take attention away from the BlackLivesMatter demonstrations. Besides slave owners used religion, Jesus Christ and his same thought process to help with oppression of slaves. So fuck JJudahIsaac for using religion to back racism

Can't kneel or stand...wow!

One has nothing to do with the other. his leg was on borrowed time.

All this uproar over a meaningless song.

Zero correlation between the two!

I c my op isn't the only 1.Ur disgusting story w/ the ref 2 Mr Isaacs CHOICES is attempting 2 take a viewer 2 UR op,in MY opinion.Ur site, ur right as is mine 2 comment on. I'm uninstalling this app, I know good riddance.I'll find other sources when the reader determines THEIR OP

I hope you will be mending well! As your the NBA to be part of the Black Lives Matters organization who support the total destruction of our country! We the people are done with you!👹

Lmao. God has spoken. Traitor.

Karma

benshapiro Timcast Seriously?! TMZsucks

GOD HAS SPOKEN

BLM IS JUST PLAIN TERRORISTS!

Karma 😂

Ya'll love the fall...

Lol wtf does that have to do with an ACL tear

👀👀

OMG you are becoming a parody of yourself just like CNN Ridiculous 🤯

Lol that’s god telling him to kneel lol. He stood and god took his leg. Funny how he can’t see that.

😂

This is a disgusting tweet way to create hate

Well, at least he doesn’t have to choose between standing or kneeling 🧎‍♂️ 😂

Kneeling for injustice has nothing to do with a belief or a religion......... KNEEL for something or stand for anything, By James Lewis

God don’t like ugly...🤣🤣

“Demonstration” ....just your normal standing for anthem and still believing in social justice that’s been ongoing for 150 yrs

Karma is real

😂🤣 Karma

TMZ & Leftists go hand in hand both hateful and disgusting! It takes a real man to stand alone under pressure, May God give him a speedy recovery so he can be back to standing tall again AMEN 🙏 GodWins JonathanIsaac

The IRO-KNEE maybe he KNEES to re-think his actions. The Bible says every KNEE shall bow and his did last night unfortunately. Wishing him a speedy recovery. jonathanissac

A knee for a knee

Well well we’ll

Are the 2 connected?

Life comes at you fast. 🥴

I'm just here for the comments! 👀🍿😂🤣😭☠️

That’s a really serious injury especially for a young player. God’s speed in recovering. Thank goodness age is on his side. I remember when Kobe returned from his at his age, his game seemed totally different. 🙏🏾🙏🏾 for healing.

God took his knee back.

How is this even a headline? To think this has any relation to his injury is crazy. Standing or kneeling doesn’t not result in injury. Let these guys live their lives. He just tore his ACL which is season ending. Sometimes even career ending. Get a new thing to obsess over!

Well, God has a plan for all of us.

Some of You people are some hating, racist muthas on here! He had his own conviction on the subject that went against the rest of the team and the establishment. So immediately he’s a race traitor! Wow! I’ve seen racists but some of you really take the cake!

What does an injury have to do with standing during our anthem LIKE WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO! The fuck is wrong with you your acting like the two events are related, or a consequence of... the fuck!?

You sound like a crazy ex-girlfriend

The spirits of those who died at the hands of white supremacy told him if you don’t kneel you will bend 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

Since when is standing for the national anthem a 'demonstration'

What a terrible and non related headline. Come on, TMZ! You’re better than that!

Petty TMZ real Petty

What are the chances?

anthem standing demonstration? you guys are so pathetic 😂

Pathetic headline reach 😒😒

😂😂😂😂

😐

🤫🤭🤭🤭

Hahaha!!! Stupid!

This is such a dumb headline tmz

After he stood, Jonathan's jersey became the 2nd top selling jersey in the NBA. I wonder how many returns there will be today! LOL

How is STANDING for anthem a demonstration

NBA: Kneel, fake an injury or you get benched. Or someone can do it for you. Is that what you're implying TMZ? Asking for a friend.

What exactly does that have to do with him standing for the national anthem, do you know what they say if you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything

How is that related

Black privilege is NOT the answer to residual racism... WATCH & LEARN !!!!

Would it be wrong to say God Tonya Harding him askin for a friend

I was afraid of this. It takes a while to get the gears shifting at normal speeds again after a long layoff. The speed of the game demands ultimate conditioning. I hope he bounces back real soon.

God’s called you to proclaim His name. Praying for you and I’m so proud of you! Get well soon 🙏🏿

Cue all the hateful black folks mad at him.

Never rejoice over someone pain

Why is this your caption? Your media outlet is so ignorant.

WTH does the Anthem standing have to do with anything

Y’all gave that man the evil eye that’s why, so sad.

Black Knees Matter

One thing doesnt have anything to do with the other, dont be melodramatic

Ha! Ha!

GetWell We're all praying for you! 🙏

Dumbest tweet of the day goes to...

Karma from the black gods lol

Prayers for quick recovery young man. And to all you ‘karma’ experts, I guess I don’t have to remind you, it works both ways! Being joyous over this mans injury may very well bring you your own karma!

Sweet

So standing for the anthem is considered a “demonstration” now? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Karma is a MF🤡

Way to insinuate one had to do with the other. That’s DISGUSTING. Pretty sure you didn’t even know who he was 2 days ago.

why is this news on tmz? also shouldnt be news if someone stands for the anthem. seems like the media just wants more divide

lf you don't know the bible you will talk a whole lot of BS. God is about love not hate. He is about good and not evil. Where in the bible does it say kneel or stand for the national anthem. Out here attacking another black man. What do you stand for? NOTHING

Karma!

Now look at 'god'...
