Nets’ Egor Demin getting closer to return from right leg injury

Brooklyn Nets guard Egor Demin is progressing well from a right leg bone bruise and could return during the team's four-game road trip. Head coach Jordi Fernández confirmed Demin is back on the court practicing, though he will sit out Sunday's game against the Dallas Mavericks for his sixth consecutive absence before undergoing reevaluation.

The injury occurred on October 27 during an overtime loss against the Boston Celtics. In additional team updates, Mikel Brown Jr. remains sidelined for back-to-back games, while center Day'Ron Sharpe recorded his first career triple-double with 12 points, 13 assists, and 10 rebounds in Brooklyn's recent loss to Atlanta.
