Egor Demin News: Will be limited to begin season

Demin will have his minutes limited to begin the season, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

The Nets haven't offered a specific minutes restriction, but they appear to be exercising caution with their rookie first-rounder after he missed much of training camp with a plantar fascia tear. Demin holds plenty of upside as a 6-foot-8 point guard, but he'll likely be a work in progress and have his share of growing pains in 2025-26. Demin will come off the bench to start the season, as the Nets will start Ben Saraf at point guard.
