Overview
- The team said increased plantar fasciitis in his left foot has ended his 2025–26 campaign.
- Head coach Jordi Fernandez previously reported no return timetable as soreness rose, and Dëmin last appeared on Feb. 27 after multiple absences.
- The No. 8 pick logged 52 games, averaging 10.3 points, 3.3 assists and 3.2 rebounds with marked gains in three-point and free throw accuracy versus college.
- With Dëmin sidelined, Terance Mann is expected to stay in the starting lineup, and guards Ben Saraf, Drake Powell and Nolan Traore are candidates for more minutes.
- Dëmin missed most of training camp and the preseason rehabbing a left plantar fascia tear, and the Nets are late in the season managing draft-lottery positioning.
