The narrow victory marked Banchero’s first appearance after missing 10 games with a left groin strain, prompting lineup and rotation changes that required da Silva to move back into a bench role.</p><p>Mosley said da Silva’s responsibility remains unchanged regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench.</p><p>“I thought he had a lot of great sparks tonight and we’ve talked about it and it’s just what I’m asking him to do is just continue to be aggressive no matter when he’s out there on the floor,” Mosley said. “Defensively sitting down and guarding, containing your man. When you’re open, knock it down but you know, not shying away from attacking the basket. I think those are things that you can continue to ask him to do whether he’s starting or coming off the bench.”</p><p>Da Silva logged three points, five rebounds and a steal while shooting 1-for-4 from the field and 1-for-3 from three in 25 minutes. Though the scoring output dipped, Mosley praised his activity and discipline on both ends.</p><h2><b>Tristan da Silva adjusts as Magic reintegrate Paolo Banchero in win over Heat</b></h2><p>In the 10-game span Banchero missed, da Silva averaged 11 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists on 46.8% shooting while playing 26.8 minutes per contest. Through 23 games this season, he is posting 10.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game while shooting 46.6% from the field and 38.5% from three across 10 starts.</p><p>Banchero returned Friday with nine points, six rebounds and two assists on 3-for-8 shooting in 20 minutes. His re-entry required adjustments in pacing and tempo, something Mosley said will continue to develop as he fully reintegrates.</p><p>“Well, it’s going to take some time,” Mosley said. “I think that there’s a moment that there’s going to be a flow that you have to try to connect with, but I think they did a really good job finding different sets, different reads. Miami is a tough team — how they guard, how they defend, they put you in different binds so I think our guys did a great job of adjusting to that, no matter who was on the floor.”</p><p>The Magic improved to 14–9 with the victory, moving into fourth place in the Eastern Conference. Their recent stretch has been fueled by depth contributions, defensive consistency and improved ball movement, elements Mosley said remain critical as Banchero transitions back into heavier minutes.</p><p>Orlando will travel to New York to face the Knicks (15–7) on Sunday before returning home for an <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/nba-news-nba-cup-eastern-standings-set-magic-win-pistons">NBA Cup quarterfinal rematch with the Heat</a> (14–9) on Tuesday at 6 p.m. ET on Prime Video.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Franz Wagner and head coach Jamahl Mosley both highlighted the play of second-year forward Tristan da Silva, whose aggressiveness and confidence stood out in the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/orlando-magic/magic-news-paolo-banchero-to-miss-time-groin-injury">absence of All-Star forward Paolo Banchero</a>.</p><p>Wagner led the way for Orlando with 25 points, six rebounds, and five assists while shooting 7-for-17 from the field and 8-for-10 from the free-throw line across 37 minutes. Da Silva, starting in place of Banchero, delivered his strongest performance of the season with 22 points, nine rebounds, and an assist, connecting on five of his nine 3-point attempts and finishing with a +15 plus/minus in 32 minutes.</p><h2><b>Franz Wagner, Jamahl Mosley highlight Tristan da Silva’s confidence and growth vs. Nets</b></h2><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/orlando-magic/magic-news-paolo-banchero-undergo-mri-groin-injury-knicks">Banchero was ruled out after an MRI</a> on Thursday revealed a left groin strain, creating an opportunity for da Silva to step into the starting lineup. Wagner praised the young forward’s poise and decisiveness, noting how his <a href="https://www.nba.com/magic/video" rel="noopener">confidence has quickly evolved</a> since his rookie season.</p><p>“He’s playing great, super confident off the catch – I think he’s that type of player,” Wagner said. “We need him to be aggressive, not only to shoot the ball but just being aggressive and play his game and play exactly how he did tonight and limit mistakes and play through them. You can see his potential, and I think he’s gotten a lot better already compared to his first year. Super happy for him.”</p><p>Mosley echoed Wagner’s assessment, crediting da Silva’s summer experience with the German national team as a <a href="https://www.nba.com/magic/video" rel="noopener">turning point in his development</a>.</p><p>“It’s just how we’ve asked him to play coming from being this year winning it with the German team,” Mosley said. “His level of confidence grew and that’s what we’ve asked him to do — not afraid of those big moments, not afraid to make plays, and that’s what we’ll continue to need from him. The swagger that he plays with, we’re gonna continue to need that from him.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="in">Tristan da Silva highlights vs. BKN:</p><p>22 PTS<br>9 REB<br>8-14 FG<br>5 3PM<br>+15 +/- <a href="https://t.co/8zUFZ3DTNF">pic.twitter.com/8zUFZ3DTNF</a></p><p>— Orlando Magic (@OrlandoMagic) <a href="https://twitter.com/OrlandoMagic/status/1989527550595363229?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 15, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><h2><b>Da Silva’s expanding skill set adds another dimension to Magic’s rotation</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/ristan-da-Silva-23-brings-the-ball-up-court-during-the-second-half-against-the-Brooklyn-Nets.jpg"><figcaption>© Mike Watters-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Da Silva’s growth was evident not only in his shooting but also in his willingness to create off the dribble. The 24-year-old said expanding that part of his game has been a major focus in his second season.</p><p>“That’s part of the game I’m also working on that I’m trying to expand,” da Silva said. “Obviously, I’ve shown a lot of my catch-and-shoot capabilities, but I feel like off the dribble is something that is gonna help this team even more — being able to create for myself and for others. I’m gonna keep working on that and feel like that’s gonna be something that’s gonna develop over the next couple of months and years.”</p><p>With the win, the Magic improved to 7–6, moving above .500 for the first time since opening night against the Miami Heat on October 22. The team now heads on a short road trip to face the Houston Rockets (8–3) on Sunday night at 7 p.m. ET before returning to Kia Center for a three-game homestand beginning Tuesday against the Golden State Warriors (8–6).</p><p>Orlando’s latest victory showcased the team’s growing depth and adaptability — and da Silva’s continued emergence has quickly become one of its early-season storylines.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

I was just out there trying to provide some energy off the bench.”</p><p>When asked if he felt comfortable on the court, da Silva credited the support from those around him.</p><p>“Just a lot of people pouring into me – teammates, people I got in my circle, coaches giving me trust out there,” he said. “So it just felt good.”</p><p>Despite his excitement over his strong showing, da Silva maintained a team-first mindset, expressing disappointment in the outcome.</p><p>“Obviously, it feels great. Not the outcome we wanted as a team; that’s how I’m structured, so that’s the way I think about it,” he added. “I feel like we’ll clean up, we’ll get on to the next one, and I’m excited for the rest of this road trip.”</p><h2><b>Jalen Suggs and Jamahl Mosley praise da Silva’s poise and versatility in extended minutes</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Tristan-da-Silva-23-shoots-in-the-second-half-against-the-San-Antonio-Spurs.jpg"><figcaption>© Daniel Dunn-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Meanwhile, Jalen Suggs, who himself delivered a career-high scoring performance in the game, took note of da Silva’s contributions and praised his readiness to step up.</p><p>“I thought he was great,” Suggs said postgame. “I told him in the locker room, I said continue to build off this one as we go forward. It was great for him – he stepped up, he played great basketball, he was in all the right spots, crashing the glass, doing everything that was asked of him. Very proud of Tristan, love that he comes to hoop, love the demeanor that he comes to work with every day, and very excited to see his growth.”</p><p>Additionally, head coach Jamahl Mosley echoed Suggs’ sentiments, commending da Silva’s toughness and adaptability on the court. The rookie’s ability to handle multiple positions and step up in high-stakes moments did not go unnoticed.</p><p>“Toughness, versatility, wasn’t afraid of the moment, played multiple positions, didn’t bat an eye,” Mosley said. “But again, he’s a professional – he understands how to work, understands his approach, stays patient, stays ready. I just think that’s a bright spot there for him to be able to come in and step in and do the things he was able to do.”</p><p>The Magic, now 3-3, have reached the midpoint of their road trip and will next face the Dallas Mavericks, who hold a 3-2 record, on Sunday night. Tristan da Silva’s performance against Cleveland signals promising depth for Orlando, offering coach Mosley a reliable option off the bench in the absence of Banchero.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
