Egor Dëmin Shows Off Added Muscle and Growth Ahead of Nets Season Opener

Brooklyn Nets second-year guard Egor Dëmin has added significant muscle and strength ahead of the regular season, earning praise from head coach Jordi Fernández for his improved ability to attack the paint and see the floor. Expected to start on the ball in Wednesday's opener against the Charlotte Hornets while Mikel Brown Jr. remains on a minutes limit, Dëmin noted his increased confidence getting to the rim and finishing aggressively against NBA physicality.
