Disappointing close to 2025-26
Da Silva chipped in zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) over eight minutes during Sunday's 116-94 loss to the Pistons in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Analysis
Even with Franz Wagner (calf) and Jonathan Isaac (knee) sidelined, da Silva was phased out of the Orlando rotation at times during this series. It was still a positive 2025-26 campaign overall for the second-year forward, who averaged 9.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.9 steals in 24.7 minutes per tilt over 77 regular-season games (34 starts).

Series-high 23 minutes
Da Silva posted 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt) and six rebounds over 23 minutes during Friday's 93-79 loss to the Pistons in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Analysis
After barely featuring for much of the first-round series, da Silva logged 23 minutes Friday, scoring double-digit points for the first time in the playoffs. Although the second-year forward had a solid outing, Orlando is going to need a lot more from its stars and role players alike if it hopes to put an end to Detroit's season in Game 7 on Sunday. Through six games, da Silva has averaged just 4.8 points and 3.3 rebounds in 16.5 minutes per game.
