<p>As you all know, basketball has officially made its return after temporarily being suspended due to the spread of COVID-19. Nonetheless, NBA players made their way down to Orlando, and have been within the NBA bubble as the season has officially <em><a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/the-nba-is-in-talks-with-the-walt-disney-company-about-restarting-the-season-in-late-july/">restarted</a></em>.</p>
<p>As we previously reported, Sunday, the Orlando Magic and the Sacramento King’s faced off, but unfortunately, Jonathan Isaac suffered an injury to his knee, which caused him to leave the game in a wheelchair.</p>
<p>According to <em><a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/29586366/magic-forward-jonathan-isaac-torn-acl-left-knee">ESPN</a></em>, the Magic announced that Jonathan tore the ACL in his left knee. Footage from the game showed Jonathan clutching his knee as he fell to the floor with only 9:19 left in the fourth quarter. This was Jonathan&#8217;s second game back after he hyperextended his left knee in January.</p>
<p>Prior to Sunday’s game, Jonathan made headlines as he became the first player not to kneel for the national anthem or wear a Black Lives Matter T-shirt over his jersey prior to the Magic’s game against the Brooklyn Nets.</p>
<p>Following the game, he explained why he made the decision to not kneel. When asked if he believed that Black Lives Matter, he <em><a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/29573762/orlando-jonathan-isaac-first-nba-bubble-stand-anthem">said</a></em>, “Absolutely, I believe that Black lives matter. A lot went into my decision and part of it is my thought that kneeling while wearing a Black Lives Matter T-shirt don&#8217;t go hand in hand with supporting Black lives. And so I felt like, just me personally and what it is that I believe in, standing on a stance that I do believe that Black lives matter, but I just felt like it was a decision that I had to make and I didn&#8217;t feel like putting that shirt on went hand in hand with supporting Black lives.&#8221;</p>

<p>Following the Magic&#8217;s 132-116 win against the King&#8217;s on Sunday, Aaron Gordon spoke about his teammate&#8217;s injury and said, That was tough, man. hat one brought me to tears, and instantly &#8212; just because I know how good of a guy J.I. is and how hard he works and how hard he has worked to get back since hurting himself in D.C. That was tough.&#8221;</p>
