Brooklyn, NY — March 9, 2026: The Brooklyn Nets have shut down rookie guard Egor Demin for the remainder of the season after he was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, ending a promising first NBA campaign.
The injury will keep Demin off the court for all remaining regular-season games and any potential postseason action, the team said. The setback closes the book on what had been an encouraging rookie year for the 22-year-old, who quickly earned a rotation spot and drew praise for his versatility on both ends of the floor.
No timetable was provided for Demin’s recovery beyond the expectation that he will return to full basketball activities during the offseason.
