Another day and another member of the Magic popped up on the team’s injury report on Tuesday.

Ahead of Tuesday’s road game at Sacramento, the Magic added third-year forward Tristan da Silva to the injury report and listed him as questionable for the West Coast road contest because of a left calf strain.

It’s unclear when da Silva suffered the injury. He wasn’t listed on Orlando‘s initial injury report for Tuesday’s game when the team submitted it Monday afternoon after practicing in San Francisco.

During Saturday’s game at Golden State, which the Magic lost in overtime, da Silva played a season-high 39 minutes when he totaled 19 points, seven rebounds and two assists in his first start of the year.

That same game, the Magic saw Anthony Black leave late in overtime due to cramping. Black said after shootaround in Sacramento that he’s feeling “good enough to play.”

“I think everybody’s a little beat up,” the Magic guard said Tuesday. “But yeah, good enough to play. That’s about it.”

Black said the cramping was a result of playing more minutes and the rest of his body doing more work in the aftermath of a previous right ankle sprain. Against the Warriors, he recorded 18 points, eight rebounds, six assists and four steals in a season-high 38 minutes of action.

“That’s leading to my calves doing more, the rest of my body doing more,” he said about his past ankle injury. “So, yeah, just cramping up. It’s part of what happens when you play a lot of minutes.”

Black and da Silva have seen an increase in minutes with teammates Paolo Banchero (right high ankle sprain), Jalen Suggs (right knee bone bruise) and Noah Penda (partially torn right hamstring) out for much of the start of the season.

Those absences have left the Magic with little to no margin for error following a 2-7 start and a four-game losing streak entering Tuesday’s matchup against the Kings. Orlando won’t get much rest when it travels to Utah on Wednesday night for the second night of a back-to-back on the road.

Magic veteran center Nikola Vucevic shared the message he tells teammates to encourage them after a slow start to the year.

“Just stick to the course,” Vucevic said. “It’s a long season. It’s not easy when you’ve started where we have. We have some injuries, guys down, so we’re not at full strength and we haven’t really been able to show what we can do.

“So, yeah, just stay the course, believe in the process, believe in yourselves, and have fun and enjoy the process along the way. It’s a great game that we get to play and we have to enjoy it as well. So, just continue to stay the course. A lot can happen and things can turn around really quickly.”
