In an interview after the game, he told the media that he was so nervous before the game that he completely forgot to put on his jersey underneath his warmup jacket. He didn't realize it until there were only five minutes left in the first quarter.

Thank god he didn't start, according to CBS Sports, or he would've pulled off his warmups to reveal a bare chest underneath. 

His Magic teammates had a laugh at the rookie's expense.

Isaac, 20, was drafted out of FSU with the sixth pick by the Orlando Magic in the 2017 draft.
