Tristan da Silva Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Magic vs Nuggets game on Thursday with our National Basketball Association injury report.Dec 9, 2025
Leads bench in win
Da Silva posted 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and two assists in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 117-108 win over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
After being held scoreless on 0-of-7 shooting in Sunday's loss to the Knicks, da Silva bounced back and led Orlando's bench in points and rebounds. He also knocked down multiple triples for the second time in his last four games. With Franz Wagner (ankle) expected to miss at least two weeks, da Silva will likely continue to see an uptick in playing time off the bench.
Dec 5, 2025
Headed to bench
Da Silva will head to the bench for Friday's game versus the Heat.
ANALYSIS
With Paolo Banchero back in action and starting, da Silva will return to a role with the second unit where his value will dip. Through 12 games as a reserve this season, da Silva has posted averages of 10.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.8 triples per contest.
Dec 2, 2025
Scoreless in win
da Silva accumulated zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 21 minutes during Monday's 125-120 win over Chicago.
ANALYSIS
da Silva went scoreless for the first time since Oct. 27 this season, and has now logged consecutive games without making a three-pointer. Prior to Monday's dud, da Silva had been averaging 12.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.5 blocks and 2.0 threes on a 42.1 percent clip over eight games as a starter, so expect him to bounce back Wednesday against the Spurs.
Nov 20, 2025
Posts another solid showing
Da Silva notched 17 points (7-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt), eight rebounds and one assist across 30 minutes during Thursday's 129-101 victory over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Da Silva has stepped up in a big way since Paolo Banchero (groin) went down, and that run continued Thursday night. Da Silva has reached double figures in the scoring column in four straight matchups since joining the first unit and has converted at a clip of 46.4 percent from three during this stretch.
Nov 16, 2025
Strong results in defeat
Da Silva recorded 13 points (5-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals across 40 minutes during Sunday's 117-113 overtime loss to Houston.
ANALYSIS
Da Silva continued to fill in admirably for Paolo Banchero (groin), supplying a full stat line after scoring a season-high 22 points in Friday's win over the Nets. Until Banchero is ready to return to the lineup, da Silva makes sense as an appealing streaming option in the interim. On the year, da Silva has averaged 11.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.9 steals in 23.1 minutes per contest covering 14 outings.
Nov 14, 2025
Nets 22 points with nine boards
Da Silva notched 22 points (8-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and three turnovers across 32 minutes during Friday's 105-98 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Da Silva got the starting nod with Paolo Banchero (groin) unavailable and made the most of the opportunity, taking advantage of a favorable matchup with the defensively-challenged Nets. It's unclear if Banchero will be able to make it back for Sunday's game in Houston, but groin injuries can be tricky, so plucking up Da Silva from the waiver wire wouldn't be the worst idea.
Nov 14, 2025
Starting Friday
Da Silva is in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Da Silva will earn his first start of the season with Paolo Banchero (groin) unavailable, putting him on the radar as a potential streamer target in deep leagues. Across 38 starts last season, Da Silva produced averages of 9.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.3 triples per contest.
Nov 13, 2025
Grabs five boards in win
da Silva supplied eight points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 124-107 victory over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
da Silva has cooled down noticeably after averaging 11.9 points on 49.3 percent from the field and 1.9 threes on a 41.7 percent clip in his first eight games to now averaging 8.3 points on 42.9 percent from the field and 1.5 threes on a 33.3 percent clip in his last four. Regardless, he has been very involved in the Magic's rotation off the bench, but fantasy owners would love to see him get his numbers back to how they were at the beginning of the season.
Nov 4, 2025
Tallies season-high 20 points
da Silva closed with 20 points (8-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 127-112 loss to Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Da Silva scored double digits for the third time in the past four games, ending with a season-best 20 points. Desmond Bane was ejected, giving da Silva some added responsibility on the offensive end. While his production has been somewhat surprising, it does seem unsustainable given he has played around 22 minutes per contest.
Oct 30, 2025
Scores 19 points with three steals
da Silva had 19 points (5-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, one assist and three steals over 22 minutes during Thursday's 123-107 victory over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
da Silva has been hit-or-miss this season, but he's been trending up over the past two, scoring in the teens, draining threes and snatching steals, so he's on the radar in deep leagues. It helps that he'll draw a favorable matchup against the Wizards on a six-game Saturday.
Oct 29, 2025
Scorches nets from deep
Da Silva recorded 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt) and three rebounds in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 135-116 loss to the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Da Silva made the most of his opportunities off the bench, tying his season high in made triples while posting his third double-digit scoring performance of the young campaign. He's unlikely to provide much production outside of scoring and rebounding but has proven that he can stack triples on occasion.
Oct 29, 2025
Team option exercised
The Magic exercised their third-year team option for Da Silva on Wednesday, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
The Magic also picked up their option on Anthony Black, but they declined Jett Howard's option. Da Silva has played a key role for the second unit to open the 2025-26 campaign for Orlando with averages of 9.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 20.3 minutes per game.
Oct 25, 2025
Logs another solid showing
Da Silva dropped 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and three steals across 24 minutes in Friday's 111-107 win over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Friday marked da Silva's second straight showing with at least 15 points and two three-pointers made. He has been one of Orlando's main contributors among the second unit, and will likely continue to operate as the team's sixth man if he keeps this level of production. If da Silva can provide value similar to the six rebound, three assist and three steal game he turned in Friday in addition to being a scorer, fantasy managers should give serious consideration to rostering him.
Oct 22, 2025
Drops 16 points off bench
Da Silva registered 16 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and one rebound in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 125-121 win over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Da Silva looked strong on the offensive end and was the only Magic bench player to reach double figures. He appeared confident from beyond the arc, where he converted at a clip of 33.5 percent over 74 regular-season games a season ago. However, da Silva's production elsewhere wasn't nearly as impressive, tallying only one rebound outside of the scoring column.
Oct 16, 2025
Retreating to bench Thursday
Da Silva won't start in Thursday's preseason game against New Orleans, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
With Desmond Bane (rest) returning to game action Thursday, da Silva will move to the bench in Orlando's preseason finale. The second-year forward started Sunday's win over Miami, contributing 11 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block across 16 minutes.
Oct 12, 2025
Strong in preseason start
Da Silva tallied 11 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block across 16 minutes during Sunday's 120-104 preseason win over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Da Silva drew the start Sunday while Paolo Banchero and Desmond Bane received the night off. The second-year forward was one of three starters to finish the game in double digits, and he also led the first unit with seven boards. Da Silva remains in line to contribute as one of the first forwards off the bench for the Magic this season behind Banchero and Bane and is enjoying an impressive preseason thus far.
Oct 12, 2025
Drawing another preseason start
Da Silva is part of the starting lineup for Sunday's preseason start against the Heat, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Da Silva will step into the first unit Sunday with Paolo Bancher and Desmond Bane resting. Entering his second professional season, da Silva is slated to serve as one of Orlando's top forwards off the bench.
Oct 10, 2025
Back to bench Friday
Da Silva is not in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against the 76ers, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
With Franz Wagner (rest) back in the mix, it's not surprising that da Silva is reverting back to his usual role off the bench. Barring injuries to the Orlando frontcourt, da Silva is set to open the season in a reserve capacity.
Oct 5, 2025
Logs 12 points vs. Miami
Da Silva registered 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 15 minutes during Saturday's 126-118 preseason win over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Da Silva led the Magic's starters in scoring Saturday and finished second on the team behind Jase Richardson (13). Da Silva was the Magic's first-round pick of the 2024 NBA Draft, and he finished his rookie season averaging 7.2 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists over 22 minutes per game across 74 contests (38 starts).
Oct 4, 2025
Starting in preseason opener
Da Silva will start in Saturday's preseason game against the Heat, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
The second-year forward will get the starting nod against Miami due to Franz Wagner (rest) being sidelined. Da Silva appeared in 74 games (38 starts) during his rookie season, averaging 7.2 points and 3.3 rebounds while shooting 41.2 percent from the field across 22.0 minutes per game.
Aug 29, 2025
Returns to court for EuroBasket
Da Silva (rest) posted seven points and six rebounds for Germany in Friday's 105-83 victory over Sweden in EuroBasket play.
ANALYSIS
The Magic had monitored da Silva's reps in the Summer League, but he's back in action and should be ready to roll for the upcoming season. That said, da Silva will likely be hard-pressed to attain fantasy relevance while Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero are healthy in the Orlando frontcourt.
Jul 18, 2025
Won't play Friday
Da Silva (rest) will not play in Friday's Summer League game against the Mavericks, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Jul 15, 2025
Out Tuesday
Da Silva (rest) won't play in Tuesday's Summer League game against Oklahoma City, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Da Silva will sit out the front end of the team's back-to-back set, and his next opportunity to feature will come Wednesday against the Nets. The 24-year-old forward last appeared in Sunday's loss to the Raptors, posting 18 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block in 28 minutes.
Jul 10, 2025

Da Silva totaled 19 points (8-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one block over 28 minutes in Thursday's 84-81 Summer League loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Da Silva paced all scorers Thursday but couldn't guide his team to a win. The wing is coming off an active rookie campaign, appearing in 74 regular-season games including 38 starts. He averaged 7.2 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists while shooting 41.2 percent from the field in 22.0 minutes per game. The 2024 first-round pick projects as a key rotational piece behind Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero off the Magic bench.
Apr 11, 2025
Getting starting nod

ANALYSIS
Da Silva will enter the starting lineup Friday due to Franz Wagner (knee) and Paolo Bancher (ankle) both being ruled out. Da Silva has averaged 7.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 27.0 minutes across his previous 10 starting appearances this season.
Mar 16, 2025
Retreating to bench Sunday

Mar 14, 2025
Will start against Minnesota
da Silva will be in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Minnesota, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.

Mar 3, 2025
Sees just six minutes
Da Silva closed with two points (1-1 FG), two rebounds and one block across six minutes during Sunday's 104-102 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Da Silva has seen his role decrease steadily with the Magic mostly healthy these days. In his last four appearances, he's seen six or fewer minutes in three of those games. He's a tough sell outside of dynasty formats at the moment.
Feb 14, 2025
Five points in Rising Stars event
da Silva finished with five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 10 minutes during Team Tim's 40-34 loss to Team Chris in Friday's Rising Stars semifinals.
ANALYSIS
Despite coming off the bench and perhaps not being the biggest name on Team Tim, da Silva produced the second-highest scoring output on the squad behind teammate Gradey Dick's 12 points. da Silva has made an impact during his rookie season with the Magic, starting in 35 of his 52 games, largely due to the injuries to star forwards Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner earlier this season. The 2024 first-rounder is averaging 8.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.5 steals and 1.2 three-pointers in 24.9 minutes per game in 2024-25.

Feb 1, 2025
Gets starting nod

ANALYSIS
Da Silva had a terrific showing Monday, though his stats were inflated a bit by the double overtime. The rookie has been pretty sporadic in terms of production for most of January, averaging 8.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.4 three-pointers over his last 14 outings.
Jan 23, 2025
Provides spark in return to bench

ANALYSIS
Da Silva returned to the Magic bench due to the return of Franz Wagner (oblique), but still put up strong numbers while leading all second unit players in scoring and finishing as one of two Orlando players with 15 or more points in a losing effort. Da Silva has recorded at least 15 points in nine contests, his second while coming off the bench. He has now posted at least 15 points and five boards on five occasions.
Jan 23, 2025

Jan 22, 2025
Records nine points
Da Silva accumulated nine points (3-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 109-93 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Da Silva was forced to log a ton of minutes with Orlando shorthanded, and Jonathan Isaac (illness) played only five minutes before leaving the game for good. The rookie forward is averaging 7.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 11 January outings.
Jan 14, 2025
Available to play
Da Silva (illness) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Bucks, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Da Silva left Sunday's game against the 76ers in the first quarter and did not return. He was able to practice on Tuesday, however, with coach Jamahl Mosley noting that he was feeling better. He'll likely see his usual minutes Wednesday night.
Jan 12, 2025
Exits Sunday's game
Da Silva (undisclosed) went to the locker room in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the 76ers, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Da Silva was replaced by Anthony Black at the 10:59 mark of the first quarter, and it's unclear why the former headed to the locker room. Black and Cole Anthony should see an increase in minutes off the bench for as long as da Silva is sidelined.
Jan 11, 2025
First career double-double Friday
Da Silva accumulated 16 points (6-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists in 40 minutes during Friday's 109-106 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
The 18th overall pick in the 2024 Draft collected his first career double-double, but the more encouraging takeaway from da Silva's performance was that he kept his starting role and didn't see his usage decline significantly even though Paolo Banchero was back in the lineup for the first time since Oct. 30. That could change when Gary Harris (hamstring) gets healthy as well, but for now da Silva's spot seems fairly secure. Since moving into Orlando's starting five back on Dec. 8, the 23-year-old Colorado product has averaged 11.7 points, 5.1 boards, 2.0 assists and 1.5 threes while playing 30.7 minutes over 15 contests.
Jan 10, 2025
Struggles in loss
da Silva closed with six points (2-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and two assists over 24 minutes during Thursday's 104-89 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
da Silva continues to fill in for Paolo Banchero, who is nearing his return to the floor for the Magic. However, Thursday's performance against the Timberwolves was forgettable, as he couldn't get it going offensively, missing all five three-point attempts. He did grab nine rebounds but didn't play well overall.
Jan 4, 2025
Scores career-high 25 points
Da Silva racked up 25 points (9-13 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 106-97 win over Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Da Silva has been forced to embrace a more relevant role than envisioned in his rookie year, but he's been delivering and stepping up when needed. The former Colorado standout established a new career-high mark in scoring Friday, but this outing solidifies his presence as a reliable scoring option for the Magic. He's scored at least 15 points in six of his last nine games, averaging 13.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game in that stretch.
Dec 29, 2024
All-around showcase in win

ANALYSIS
Da Silva led the way for Orlando in a narrow victory Sunday, leading all Magic players in scoring, threes made and assists while also providing a spark on the glass in an all-around showing. Da Silva set a new season high in scoring, having surpassed the 20-point mark twice this year. He also set a new season high in assists while hauling in his second-highest rebound total.
Dec 26, 2024
Scores 18 points against Miami
Da Silva logged 18 points (7-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes during Thursday's 89-88 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Da Silva played a game-high 39 minutes Thursday, and he finished as Orlando's second-leading scorer behind Jalen Suggs (29). Da Silva has started in each of the Magic's last six games due to the absence of Franz Wagner (oblique), and he has scored in double digits in four of those contests. Over that span, da Silva has averaged 14.2 points on 47.8 percent shooting, 3.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists over 31.3 minutes per game.
Dec 23, 2024

ANALYSIS
da Silva shined offensively in Monday's contest, leading all players in scoring and threes made while also pitching in on the glass in a winning effort. da Silva set a new season high in threes made, having posted at least 15 points in four contests this year.
Dec 16, 2024
Scores career-high 20 points
Da Silva supplied 20 points (9-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists in 32 minutes during Sunday's 100-91 loss to New York.
ANALYSIS
Da Silva had been pretty quiet in recent games, but exploded for a career-high 20 points in the loss Sunday. The Magic are very shorthanded at the moment, so fantasy managers will want to watch da Silva closely in case he catches fire. Through seven December outings, he's averaging 7.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 0.7 three-pointers in 20.3 minutes per game.
Dec 8, 2024
Starting sans Wagner

Dec 4, 2024
Back to bench

ANALYSIS
Da Silva made his first career start Sunday with Paolo Banchero (oblique) on the shelf, and he certainly held his own. Banchero is expected to miss several weeks of action, making Da Silva an intriguing player to watch in fantasy formats. In seven appearances this season, Da Silva has averaged 8.0 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.3 three-pointers in 24.6 minutes.
Nov 3, 2024

Oct 28, 2024
Good to go vs. Indiana
Da Silva (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Da Silva wasn't able to play Saturday against the Grizzlies due to an illness, but the rookie first-round pick will miss just one game. His only playing time this season was during the Magic's regular-season opener against the Heat on Wednesday, during which he played five minutes and missed his lone three-point attempt.
Oct 27, 2024
Questionable for Monday
Da Silva (illness) is questionable for Monday's game versus the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Da Silva is in danger of missing his third straight game, though he only played five minutes in the regular-season opener. The rookie's absence shouldn't cause any waves in the rotation, but if he is unable to go his next chance to play will come Wednesday against the Bulls.
Oct 26, 2024
Won't play against Memphis
Da Silva is out for Saturday's game versus the Grizzlies due to an illness.
ANALYSIS
Da Silva's absence won't significantly impact Orlando's rotation. The rookie forward's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Indiana.

ANALYSIS
Da Silva built upon a 13-point outing in Friday's win over the Cavaliers with a 23-point outburst against the Pelicans Sunday. The Colorado product has been a highly efficient scorer, shooting 57.9 percent from the floor and 54.5 percent from three. Despite the strong start to Summer League, Da Silva will face an uphill battle to a significant role for the Magic come the regular season due to their depth at the wing positions.

Selected No. 18 by Orlando
The Magic selected Da Silva with the No. 18 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Da Silva spent four years at Colorado and finished his senior year with averages of 16.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.9 triples, 1.1 steals and 1.8 turnovers per game on 49.3 percent shooting from the floor and 83.5 percent at the charity stripe. While he's not quite elite in any one area, he does have a nice feel for the game and plays with a lot of effort on defense. He projects as a solid role player, although it could be tough for him to find minutes early on, as he'll be battling with Joe Ingles, Anthony Black and Jonathan Isaac for the reserve forward minutes behind Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero.
