The Orlando Magic announced that they exercised fourth-year team options on point guard Markelle Fultz and forward Jonathan Isaac, and also the third-year team option on center Mo Bamba. Fultz’s option was for $12.3 million.

“Mo [Bamba], Markelle [Fultz] and Jonathan [Isaac] have each demonstrated a strong work ethic while exhibiting a commitment to team values,” Jeff Weltman, Magic president of basketball operations said in a statement. “We look forward to exciting futures with them as part of the Magic family.”

Fultz, the former No. 1 overall pick from the 2017 draft, played just 19 games for the Philadelphia 76ers last season, averaging 8.2 points, 3.1 assists and 3.7 rebounds. He suffered a shoulder injury and didn’t play for Orlando after they acquired him in a trade in February. Fultz has appeared in only 33 games in his first two years in the NBA.

Isaac represented the Magic in 75 games last year, averaging 9.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 1.3 blocks in 27 minutes per contest. He will continue to serve as a reliable role option in the upcoming season. Bamba played in 47 games in his rookie campaign, averaging 6.2 points, five rebounds, and 1.4 blocks in 16 minutes per game.
