Egor Demin’s added muscle is already showing in way he’s playing for Nets

Brooklyn Nets guard Egor Demin enters his second NBA season with a noticeably more physical frame, a development coach Jordi Fernandez credits for the player's improved ability to penetrate the paint. While the sophomore acknowledges his increased strength, he is now focusing on maintaining a composed, strategic approach once he reaches the rim.

With Mikel Brown Jr. currently under a minutes restriction, Demin is expected to handle primary ball-handling duties during the upcoming season opener against the Charlotte Hornets.

Additionally, the team confirmed that Joshua Jefferson is cleared for action following a back issue, while Tyler Bilodeau remains sidelined due to a shoulder injury.
