Report: Missouri State star Tulio Da Silva withdraws from NBA Draft, will play for Bears

Missouri State star forward Tulio Da Silva will return to the Bears for his senior season, according to a report by Stadium's Jeff Goodman.

Da Silva did not hire an agent when he declared for the draft in mid-April, therefore he maintained his college eligibility.

Da Silva is coming off a season that earned him Missouri Valley Conference Newcomer of the Year and All-MVC First Team honors. He led the Bears with 14.3 points and 7.4 rebounds per game. He led the Bears in scoring 10 times in 2018-19.
