Magic's Tristan da Silva: First career double-double Friday
Rotowire
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.
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.

Magic's Tristan da Silva: Scores 23 in SL
Rotowire
Da Silva recorded 23 points (8-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 26 minutes during Sunday's 91-86 win over the Pelicans in the Summer League.
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.
