Egor Demin will miss his sixth straight game on Sunday in Dallas, but Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez says the second-year guard is making progress in his recovery from a bone bruise in his right leg, per Brian Lewis of The New York Post. The team plans to reevaluate Demin’s leg injury after Sunday’s game.
“Yeah, he’s progressing well,” Fernandez said. “He’s on the court. He’s not going to play [Saturday] or [Sunday], and then we’ll go from there.”
Rookie guard Mikel Brown Jr. will be out Sunday as well because he hasn’t been cleared to play back-to-backs, Lewis notes.
