Magic Waive Jonathan Isaac, Opening Cap Flexibility for Orlando

Orlando Magic officially waived Jonathan Isaac, extracting $8M of guaranteed money from his $14.5M 2026-27 salary and weighing cap-relief options such as stretching the $8M across seven years (which would ease the tax hit but block a new deal until the agreement ends) or keeping the guarantee on the books; the team appears to lean away from stretching. Isaac, 28, had a limited role this season after knee injuries, averaging 2.6 points and 2.5 rebounds in 10 minutes over 52 games, and his departure creates four standard contract openings as Orlando reorganizes around new pieces.

Zelensky rails at US extension of Russia oil waiver

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the US decision to extend a waiver allowing Russia to sell oil despite Western sanctions until May 16, arguing that every dollar from such sales funds Moscow’s war.
