Orlando Magic forward Tristan Da Silva is reportedly questionable Wednesday night against the Utah Jazz, per Underdog NBA. He is dealing with a left calf strain that may sideline him for the game. It may not be anything too serious, but calf strains are something that you deal with cautiously because they can turn into something bigger.

Orlando Magic Value Tristan Da Silva

Da Silva is a player who is valued by the Magic. They need him for both sides of the ball. Every year, he has improved and gotten better defensively and offensively. Right now, he is averaging a career-high 15.1 points per game. He is currently at 40% from three, which is huge for a team that struggles shooting the three-ball. Da Silva has become a reliable option amongst their role players.

His shooting ability will be missed if he can’t play tonight against the Jazz. Utah is a team that can score a lot, and already down Paolo Banchero, it will be hard to keep up with the Jazz’s explosive offense. Utah is only 1-10, but they have shown how good their offense is. Especially from their guards. Da Silva is a guy who would probably be guarding one of these guards. So not have him will hurt.

Someone Needs to Step Up

If Da Silva can’t go, someone else will need to try to step up to make up for Da Silva’s production. Orlando hasn’t been that good so far this year, at just 3-7. With or without Da Silva, they need this win. This is a team that has players capable of stepping up. They just haven’t got consistent production from everyone in the same game.

With Da Silva questionable, Orlando may have a decision to make. They need to decide who may start in his place. Whoever it is will need to be ready with or without Da Silva. They will need someone to space the floor and be able to knock down threes the way that the Magic forward can.
