Jonathan Isaac’s breakout season ended on Sunday night after he suffered a devastating knee injury.
During the Magic’s game against the Kings, Isaac’s knee seemed to buckle while he was driving to the hoop late in the game.

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Isaac suffered a torn ACL and would be out for an extended period of time.
Disappointing news: Orlando Magic F Jonathan Isaac has suffered a torn ACL in his left knee, source tells ESPN. Isaac missed 31 games with knee injury earlier and worked his way back for restart. A much longer rehab awaits him now.

Despite the seriousness of the injury, several NBA fans celebrated Isaac’s injury because he had decided to stand during the anthem a few days ago.

Jonathan Isaac decided to stand for the anthem when the rest of his team took a knee and then told folks that prayer will overcome racism…
next day he tore his ACL.
Karma wild!

Thankfully there were plenty of fans who admonished those who were giddy about Isaac’s knee injury.
Everyone that is laughing at or saying Jonathan Isaac getting injured is "karma" is straight up trash.
