Brooklyn Nets guard Egor Demin sustained a right leg contusion during their 125-124 overtime loss to the Boston Celtics on October 27, 2026. Demin played only 10 minutes after being injured late in the first half in a collision with Paul George. He stated the injury is not serious and expects to return soon. The Nets faced additional challenges with the absences of Nolan Traore due to cramping and Julius Randle and Chaney Johnson both fouling out. Despite Demin's rough shooting night, he ended with two points and two assists, while the team managed to push the game into overtime largely thanks to rookie guard Mikel Brown Jr. and other teammates. The Nets will reevaluate Demin's playing status ahead of their next game against the Detroit Pistons.
