NBA Tristan da Silva misses out on NBA draft combine invite, signaling likely return to Colorado
The water hasn’t been particularly warm for Tristan da Silva this spring as he continues to get a feel for his NBA draft stock.
The league announced on Tuesday a list of 78 prospects invited to the 2023 NBA draft combine and da Silva’s name was not present, suggesting that the Colorado men’s basketball forward will likely return to Boulder for his senior season.
Fortunately for da Silva, his stock certainly has room to rise with the Buffaloes projected to be a top-25 team.
Four UCLA Bruins — Amari Bailey, Adem Bona, Jaylen Clark and Jaime Jaquez Jr. — were invited to the combine along with Mouhamed Gueye (Washington State) and Azuolas Tubelis (Arizona).
Been dealing with health matter (all is good!) and missed this earlier in the week, but #CUBuffs forward Tristan da Silva NOT among 78 players invited to NBA draft combine. About as unofficially official as it gets in terms of his likely return to CU.
