Nets' Egor Demin (leg) probable Wednesday vs. Pelicans
Brooklyn Nets guard Egor Demin is probable to play against the New Orleans Pelicans after missing the past six games due to a right leg bone bruise.
The Brooklyn Nets are preparing for their upcoming matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday, with updated injury reports suggesting Egor Demin is probable to play. The guard, who has been sidelined for the past six games due to a right leg bone bruise, is a key contributor to Brooklyn's roster. Head coach Jordi Fernandez had previously indicated that Demin may not participate in the weekend games but opened the possibility of his return to the lineup on Wednesday.
Demin, who has averaged 7.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game this season, is currently shooting 31.0% from the field and 28.6% from beyond the three-point line.
In addition to Demin's probable return, the injury report also reveals that second-year guard Nolan Traore is questionable to play, due to right calf soreness. Traore, who has had a remarkable start to the season, has averaged 12.9 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game, shooting 51.6% from the field and 46.2% from three-point range. The Nets will be without guards Ben Saraf, Joshua Jefferson, Tyler Bilodeau, and Grant Nelson, as they are currently on G League assignments.
