Nets coach Fernandez remains tight-lipped on rookie Demin’s playing time
As rookie Egor Demin continues his rehabilitation from a plantar fascia tear, Brooklyn Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez is keeping his cards close to his chest regarding the forward’s potential playing time.
While the team progresses through training camp and preseason preparations, questions about Demin’s role have emerged, particularly as fans and analysts alike are eager to see how he will fit into the Nets’ rotation. The uncertainty surrounding Demin’s recovery has created a buzz, but Fernandez has not offered any insights into whether the rookie might see an increase in minutes as he returns to full health.
Demin, who was drafted this year, is expected to bring a fresh dynamic to the Nets’ lineup. His development is being closely monitored, yet Fernandez’s silence on the matter leaves room for speculation. The coach’s approach may reflect a desire to manage expectations while allowing Demin the time he needs to recuperate fully.
As the season approaches, the Nets’ coaching staff will likely assess Demin’s readiness, balancing the need for on-court experience with the importance of ensuring his long-term health. For now, fans will need to remain patient as the rookie navigates his recovery journey.
