Probable for Sunday
Demin (neck/jaw) is probable for Sunday's game against the Raptors, Meghan Triplett of YES Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Demin is dealing with neck and jaw soreness, though he's likely to suit up for Sunday's contest. The rookie first-rounder has started seven consecutive games for Brooklyn, averaging 10.1 points, 4.4 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 2.3 three-pointers while shooting 44.4 percent from beyond the arc in 23.7 minutes per game during that span.
Nov 19, 2025
Knocks down four triples
Demin ended Tuesday's 113-99 loss to the Celtics with 12 points (4-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 23 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Demin matched his career-high mark of four three-pointers in Tuesday's loss. While Demin has struggled with initiating the offense, he's proven to be a steady shooter with a 38.1 percent mark from beyond the arc through 13 regular-season games.
Nov 11, 2025
Drains four triples vs. Toronto
Demin posted 16 points (5-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assitss, four rebounds, one steal and one block over 28 minutes during the Nets' 119-109 loss to the Raptors on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Making the third start of his NBA career Tuesday, the rookie first-rounder drained a team-high four triples while scoring a career-high 16 points. Demin has started in the Nets' last three games, and he should remain in the starting five for as long as Cam Thomas (hamstring) is sidelined.
Nov 7, 2025
Starting Friday
Demin will be in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pistons, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
It was Tyrese Martin who started the second half of Wednesday's game after Cam Thomas (hamstring) went down, but Demin will get the call Friday. He put up 14 points, five rebounds, two assists, four triples and one steal across 22 minutes in the season-opener, so he's worth a dart throw in daily fantasy leagues. Joining him in the first unit will be Terance Mann, Michael Porter, Noah Clowney and Nic Claxton.
Nov 4, 2025
Quiet in loss
Demin closed Monday's 125-109 loss to the Timberwolves with two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 21 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Demin has yet to follow up his 14 point performance in his debut with a similar statline, but it is encouraging to see him active defensively, tacking two steals and blocking a shot Monday despite the lack of offensive production. The starting point guard role has been a revolving door, with Tyrese Martin drawing the start again after fellow rookie Ben Saraf opened the season in that spot, so Demin may get the opportunity to run with the starters if he can provide consistent production moving forward.

Off injury report for Wednesday
Demin (foot/rest) is off the Nets' injury report for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Demin missed Monday's loss to the Rockets -- the second of a back-to-back set -- while the team manages his plantar fascia issue. However, the rookie will return to action Wednesday. Through three regular-season appearances, he's averaging 8.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 22.0 minutes per contest off the bench.
Oct 27, 2025
Won't play Monday
Demin (foot/rest) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Rockets, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite sitting out preseason action due to a plantar fascia tear, Demin has appeared in each of the Nets' first three regular-season games, all off the bench. However, the rookie will take a seat for the second half of Brooklyn's back-to-back set, which will likely be a trend as Demin navigates a tricky injury. Ben Saraf, Jalen Wilson, Nolan Traore and Terance Mann are candidates for increased roles Monday, but Demin should be back in action Wednesday against the Hawks.
Oct 23, 2025
Connects on four threes
Demin registered 14 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 136-117 loss to the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Demin made his NBA regular-season debut off the bench and, despite being on a minutes restriction while recovering from a plantar fascia tear, logged solid playing time and impressed with his shooting by knocking down four three-pointers. The No. 8 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, the BYU product's blend of size at 6-foot-8, advanced ball-handling and point guard instincts make him a unique and promising young talent.
Oct 22, 2025
Will be limited to begin season
Demin will have his minutes limited to begin the season, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 17, 2025
Efficient in preseason debut
Demin posted 14 points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 19 minutes during Friday's 119-114 preseason loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Demin was cleared to make his preseason debut Friday after recovering from a plantar fascia tear, and he certainly looked like he belonged. The 19-year-old rookie took full advantage of his opportunities on the offensive end and crashed the glass. The BYU product was unable to crack the 20-minute mark in his first and only action of the preseason, so expect him to be limited when Brooklyn opens up the 2025-26 regular season Wednesday in Charlotte.
Oct 16, 2025
To make debut Friday
Demin (foot) will make his preseason debut Friday against the Raptors, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Demin has been recovering from a plantar fascia tear which has robbed him of most of Brooklyn's training camp. Demin was the projected starting point guard heading into camp, so it will be interesting to see how he fares Friday. He's likely to have restrictions in his first game back, to be clear.
Oct 14, 2025
Goes through 5-on-5
Demin participated in a five-on-five scrimmage at Tuesday's practice, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS
This is a pretty big milestone in Demin's recovery from his plantar fascia tear. Demin's status for the preseason finale against Toronto on Friday remains in the air, but his chances of suiting up for Opening Night are trending up.
Oct 10, 2025
Progressing well at training camp
Demin (foot) has progressed to contact work at practice, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It's a significant step in the right direction for Demin, who is recovering from plantar fascia tear. The Nets remain hopeful that the rookie first-rounder will be ready to roll in time for Opening Night in late October, and that appears to be a realistic possibility. In the meantime, fellow rookies Ben Saraf and Nolan Traore will see more opportunities at training camp.
Oct 6, 2025
Expected to return by Opening Night
The Nets expect Demin (foot) to be ready for the start of the regular season, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Demin continues to recover from a plantar fascia tear, though he still hasn't been cleared for contact in practice. With Brooklyn exercising caution with the rookie first-rounder, it's possible he'll be unable to get any preseason reps. Demin is expected to be the starting point guard in 2025-26, but Ben Saraf and Nolan Traore should soak up more playing time until Demin makes his NBA debut.
Oct 4, 2025
Not available against Phoenix
Demin (foot) won't be available for Friday's preseason game against the Suns, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Demin is dealing with a plantar fascia tear, so it's unclear when he'll be able to step on the court. His next chance to suit up will come in the preseason rematch against the Suns on Friday, Oct. 10.
Sep 30, 2025
Goes through non-contact work
Demin (foot) went through non-contact work during Tuesday's practice, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Demin didn't get much time on the floor during the Las Vegas Summer League. He is dealing with a plantar fascia tear, which makes his timeline to return to the floor and make his rookie debut uncertain.
Sep 23, 2025
Limited by foot issue
Nets general manager Sean Marks said Tuesday that Demin is dealing with a plantar fascia tear, Lucas Kaplan of NetsDaily.com reports.
ANALYSIS
"He's been a little bit limited with a plantar fascia tear after Summer League," Marks said. "So he hasn't potentially had the summer that he would have loved." Demin rested for the majority of the Las Vegas Summer League and now there's clarity as to why that happened. Marks made no mention of a timetable, but this injury is certainly something to monitor during training camp. Demin is currently penciled in as the starting point guard ahead of Nolan Traore, but the rotation could be fluid for a while.
Jul 18, 2025
Won't play vs. Philly
Demin (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's Summer League game against the 76ers, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Demin rested for the majority of the Las Vegas Summer League, and that will continue for the team's last game. The BYU product finished with 12 points, four assists and four rebounds in his last performance for his squad.
Jul 16, 2025
Playing Wednesday
Demin (rest) is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's Summer League game against the Magic, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Demin rested during the first leg of Brooklyn's back-to-back, but he'll be good to go Wednesday. The rookie guard logged 12 points, four assists and four rebounds in his last Summer League outing.
Jul 15, 2025
Resting Tuesday
Demin (rest) will not play in Tuesday's Summer League game against the Knicks, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Demin will miss Tuesday's game against the Knicks, the first leg of a back-to-back set. His next chance to play will come Wednesday against the Magic. In Sunday's matchup with the Wizards, the rookie posted 12 points (4-13 FG, 4-10 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 27 minutes.
Jun 25, 2025
Drafted by Brooklyn
Demin was selected by the Nets with the No. 8 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
ANALYSIS
Demin is a one-of-a-kind prospect, as the BYU standout is a 6-foot-10 floor general who's extremely comfortable running the offense and having the ball in his hands. The Moscow native needs to develop his jumper to reach his full potential, but since the Nets are in the midst of a rebuilding process, Demin should have plenty of chances to get used to the pace of the NBA game for a team that's not expected to be a playoff contender for at least a few years. Demin averaged 10.6 points, 5.5 assists, 3.9 boards and 1.2 steals over 33 games in the 2024-25 college season.
