Overview
- Orlando announced it exercised the second team option on Tristan Da Silva’s rookie deal hours before the season opener, keeping him under contract through the 2027–28 season.
- Da Silva was a first-round pick in 2024 and has played 151 games for the Magic, averaging 8.6 points per game over his first two NBA seasons.
- The extension follows a prior one-year option the club used in 2025 and preserves the cost-controlled years on the four-year rookie contract that originally had only its first two years guaranteed.
- Da Silva scored 14 points in the opener as Orlando lost 125–132 to Atlanta, and he said he is looking forward to playing under new coach Sean Sweeney.
- Keeping Da Silva secures a young rotation wing alongside Franz Wagner and gives the Magic short-term roster stability while managing salary flexibility for future moves.
