Egor Demin Criticizes His Performance: I Will Return to the Gym
Russian player Egor Demin, wearing a Brooklyn Nets jersey, said he was not satisfied with his performance after a poor start against the Charlotte Hornets. The young guard said he will work to improve his shooting and finishing and will contribute to the team with his energy.
Brooklyn Nets young guard Egor Demin fell short of expectations in the 2026-27 NBA season opener. In the game against the Charlotte Hornets at Barclays Center, Demin stayed on the court for about 27 minutes and scored only 4 points on 2-of-10 shooting.
Speaking at the press conference after the game, the 20-year-old Russian player also felt his performance was not good enough. Demin said he started well but lost his intensity over time. He stated that he missed all of his three-point attempts and believed some of those shots should have gone in.
Demin emphasized that he needs to work harder on finishing. He said the team gave him open looks and opportunities, but he did not convert them at the level he should have. At that point, he promised to show the performance expected of him on the court.
The young player also said he wants to be more energetic and vocal, both on the floor and on the bench. Noting that he can contribute to the team off the court as well, Demin said he will return to the gym right away to develop and work on these areas. The Nets, coached by Jordi Fernandez, will play two games this weekend against the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Indiana Pacers.
