Muted production in return
Da Silva (shoulder) finished with eight points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block across 22 minutes Friday in the Magic's 120-105 loss to the Hornets.
Analysis
Da Silva had missed Orlando's previous four games due to a right shoulder contusion, but he was cleared for the front end of a back-to-back set and ended up taking on a normal allotment of minutes. The second-year forward experienced no apparent setbacks in his return and will be available for Saturday's game against the Nuggets.

Upgraded to available
Da Silva (shoulder) is available for Friday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis
A right shoulder contusion won't prevent da Silva from suiting up Friday. He'll be returning from a four-game absence. For the month, da Silva has averaged 4.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 21.5 minutes per contest over six games (two starts).

Upgraded to probable Friday
Da Silva (shoulder) has been upgraded from questionable to probable for Friday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis
Da Silva has missed the Magic's last four games due to a right shoulder contusion, but it appears the second-year forward is trending toward making his return Friday. He averaged 23.2 minutes per game prior to his injury, so his return would affect the playing time of Jett Howard, Noah Penda and Jonathan Isaac.

Analysis
