Nets teenager Egor Dëmin’s homecoming to Utah was a victory. The lottery pick – who played in-state at BYU – had the best night of his impressive rookie season, leading the Nets to a 109-99 win over the Jazz before a sellout crowd of 18,186 at Delta Center snapped a seven-game losing skid in the […]
Nets rookie Nolan Traore recorded a career-high 27:57 in Friday’s 112-109 win over Chicago, getting the win over lottery pick Egor Dëmin. Traore – who had seven assists – played 8:59 in the fourth quarter, while Dëmin was limited to just 2:56 by coach Jordi Fernández in the crucial final period. The Russian lottery pick […]
This was the aggressiveness Nets coach Jordi Fernández wanted to see from freshman point guard Egor Dëmin, who set a franchise record for rookies Monday night against the Warriors with seven made 3-pointers on 14 attempts. Yet the 19-year-old lottery pick also registered just three assists in 32 minutes and recorded two key turnovers in […]
Egor Dëmin struggled through an invisible three-point, four-foul game in the Nets’ 123-110 win over Utah on Thursday night at Barclays Center, recording a low-energy 20:23 — and just 3:32 in the fourth quarter as he ceded playing duties to Ben Saraf and Tyrese Martin. But coach Jordi Fernández gave the lottery a pass, saying […]
Egor Dëmin entered on Tuesday having played a total of ten NBA games in his career.

WASHINGTON – Egor Dëmin started the past four games for the Nets, but logged just seven second-half minutes in Orlando on Friday. Coach Jordi Fernández drew the lottery pick at the end of a 25-5 Magic run, teaming with veteran Tyrese Martin to steady the ship. “At some point you try to find a group […]
Besides hoping to go No. 1 overall in the 2026 NBA Draft, the Nets should focus their attention on developing at least one of their young draftees into a strong foundation for the future. In the Nets’ 119-109 loss to the Raptors on Tuesday night, Egor Dëmin impressed with a career-high 16 points, shooting 5 […]
This is how to refuel. After getting off to a surprisingly strong start last season under head coach Jordi Fernández, when the Nets were 5-6 in their first eleven games, they enter this season’s eleventh game with a 1-9 mark and a pair of lopsided losses. Their defense is terrible, and so far their draft […]
Nets rookie Egor Dëmin got his first career start on Friday. More could happen if Cam Thomas is out long-term. Dëmin had eight points, seven assists, three rebounds, a steal and just one turnover in 23:03 against the Pistons. Egor Dëmin appears to be able to make a move during the Nets’ home loss to […]
