Jonathan Isaac is in the bubble with his teammates but is still rehabbing his knee injury. 

Advice: Al-Farouq Aminu didn't go to the bubble with his team on Tuesday and we still don't know if or when Isaac will be cleared to play. But as Lloyd Christmas once said, "so you're saying there's a chance" we'll see him in uniform at some point, although the Magic have been noncommittal to that. And in a later tweet, Josh Robbins quoted a Magic official as saying "He's at the stage where he can do a little light court stuff, but that's about it." It sounds like he's unlikely to play in the Orlando bubble due to his injury.  Rotoworld.com Today, 1:23 pm

Al-Farouq Aminu did not accompany the Magic to the bubble on Tuesday. 

Advice: He's rehabbing a knee injury and while it's possible he could join the team at some point, he's not doing so currently. If Jonathan Isaac is healthy, both him and Aaron Gordon would step in to fill the hole left by Aminu's absence. However, Isaac is still said to be rehabbing his knee.  Rotoworld.com Today, 1:17 pm

Nikola Jokic is reportedly healthy and recovered from COVID but had travel complications that will keep him off of Tuesday's team flight to Orlando. 

Advice: He reportedly tested negative in Serbia and is good to go for Orlando, but simply had flight complications that kept him from joining his teammates. Either way, Jokic should be in Orlando well before the Nuggets play a meaningful game.  Rotoworld.com Today, 12:06 pm

Marc Stein of the New York Times is reporting that veteran center Amir Johnson is a "prime target" for the Nets. 

Advice: The Nets are in need of reinforcements up front as DeAndre Jordan and Nic Claxton will not play in Orlando. Johnson would likely be looking at minutes in the teens behind Jarrett Allen in Orlando if he lands a deal with the Nets, so there's minimal fantasy impact here. Johnson last played for the 76ers in 2018-19, averaging just 10.4 minutes per game for 3.9 points and 2.9 rebounds.  Rotoworld.com Today, 9:52 am

Bradley Beal will not play in the Orlando restart due to a right rotator cuff injury.

Advice: There was no mention of a shoulder injury when coach Scott Brooks talked about Beal on Monday, saying that his status hinged only on his conditioning. Beal also didn't mention the issue last week when he said his status was up in the air, so this likely means the Wizards just want to use the Orlando restart as an unofficial Summer League to evaluate their young talent and come out of the bubble at full strength. Expect to see a lot of Troy Brown in Orlando as he recently said he'd like to get more reps as a primary playmaker, and look for Rui Hachimura to shoulder the bulk of scoring load.  Rotoworld.com Today, 8:22 am

Brandon Ingram, who is set to be the top restricted free agent on the market this summer, said his status for Orlando was never in doubt. 

Advice: "I didn’t look at it as if I had a choice of going or not. My teammates knew that I didn’t question it or anything," he said. "I just wanted to play basketball at the end of the day. I’m going to do it and let my teammates know I’m there 110%." Ingram added that he's excited about the direction of the Pelicans but was non-committal about his future with the team. "I feel really good about this team,” he said. “I like where I’m at. But that’s a decision that is going to have a lot of factors after the season.” Rotoworld.com Today, 7:23 am

Dwight Howard has opted in and will play for the Lakers in Orlando. 

Advice: Dwight will head to Orlando on Thursday and plans to donate his game checks to his non-profit campaign Breathe Again. With Howard on board now, JaVale McGee's role will take a hit and Kyle Kuzma may see a few less minutes per game. But the Lakers have to be thrilled that Howard will be in uniform in hopes of helping LeBron James win his fourth title. Rotoworld.com Yesterday, 8:03 pm

With Victor Oladipo sitting out the Orlando trip for the Pacers there's a good chance that Aaron Holiday could start at point guard and average 30 minutes per game. 

Advice: Malcolm Brogdon (assuming he's back from testing positive for COVID-19), T.J. Warren, Domantas Sabonis and Myles Turner are expected to round out the Pacers' starting lineup. It's possible T.J. McConnell could start over Holiday, but all signs are pointing to Holiday getting the call, especially with Jeremy Lamb hurt and unavailable. Holiday is averaging 11.8 points and 4.8 assists in his 32 starts this season.  Rotoworld.com Yesterday, 2:22 pm

Tim Hardaway Jr. said his status for Orlando is up in the air but hinted that he's more likely to play than sit out. 

Advice: “I’m still up in the air right now, but I love the game of basketball," THJ said. "When you have the opportunity to do the one thing you love, you just go for it.” Hardaway Jr. was rolling prior to the pause, scoring 21.5 points over his last 10 games with 3.9 triples and 2.1 assists on 44.6% from the field.  Rotoworld.com Yesterday, 11:02 am

Darius Miller (Achilles) is still "unsure" if he'll be ready to play when the Pelicans resume play in Orlando.

Advice: Miller had surgery last August and although he's made great progress, he's been unable to play 3-on-3 or 5-on-5 due to COVID-19 restrictions. New Orleans will continue to evaluate him as they begin formal practices, and if he can't play they will be allowed to replace him on the roster. Rotoworld.com Friday, 10:19 am

Coach Frank Vogel said that the Lakers are "hopeful and optimistic" that Dwight Howard will play in Orlando.

Advice: Howard's name has come up as a player who could opt out of Orlando, but there has been some optimism from coaches and players he'll be ready to go. If something does change, the Lakers may have to look at JaVale McGee for more playing time, and Kyle Kuzma would also benefit with a lot of more of Anthony Davis at the five.

Markelle Fultz said he was in a "crazy rhythm" when the season shut down, so he trained up to three hours daily to maintain momentum.

Advice: "My biggest thing was I didn’t want to lose that rhythm,” Fultz said. “I know how it can get when you don’t pick up a ball for a while. You start to think about other things and you get sidetracked.” He bought a hoop and assembled it himself, and worked on his shooting, ball-handling and conditioning. The varying levels of players' commitment to staying sharp during the hiatus could be a key factor when play resumes in Orlando. Rotoworld.com Wednesday, 6:34 am

When asked about the status of Jonathan Isaac (knee) and Al-Farouq Aminu (knee), Magic coach Steve Clifford wouldn't completely rule them out of the Orlando restart. 

Advice: "They're both in here working every day," Clifford said. "I just think it's really early to try to make an intelligent decision on anything like that." Orlando beat writer said shortly after those comments that it's still "highly unlikely" we see either player, but it's definitely encouraging that their returns are at least on the table. It won't be long before we get another update with mandatory workouts beginning soon.  Rotoworld.com Tuesday, 12:00 pm
