Brooklyn Nets center Deron Sharp will miss his second consecutive game on Thursday with a sprained left thumb. Head coach Jordi Fernandez said the fifth-year center has no timetable for his return.

“No timeline. [Day’Ron has a] Sprained thumb. No matter how long it takes for him to feel good enough to play again, Fernandez said.

Sharp suffered the injury during Brooklyn’s 126-115 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday, the team’s second straight victory. The 24-year-old was Brooklyn’s top performer during the win.

He posted a team-high 19 points on 8-of-11 shooting with five rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block in 18 minutes off the bench. The performance came after playing a key role in the Nets’ 23-point comeback win over the Detroit Pistons on Saturday.

De’Ron Sharp sidelined with thumb injury amid tank race

Sharp posted 13 points, seven rebounds, four assists and two steals on 6 of 10 shooting in 21 minutes against the Pistons. He beat All-Star center Jalen Duren long and closed out the game on Nets starting center Nick Claxton.

Detroit demolished Brooklyn 138-100 on Tuesday with Sharp sidelined. Duren scored a game-high 26 points on 9 of 10 shooting in 23 minutes. Claxton, meanwhile, struggled mightily, posting just two points and four rebounds on 0-2 shooting in 21 minutes.

Sharp’s availability has been vital to Brooklyn’s ability to compete this season. According to CleaningTheGlass, his performance on the court versus off has led the Nets to outscore opponents by seven more points per 100 possessions, the team’s highest mark and sixth among 35 centers playing more than 1,100 minutes.

Sharp’s absence comes amid a hotly contested tank race. The Nets’ consecutive wins dropped them from second to fourth in the draft lottery standings. They have one more win than the Sacramento Kings and Washington Wizards in second and third, respectively, and two more wins than the Pacers in first.

Michael Porter Jr. (right ankle sprain) and Nolan Traore (rest) also will be sidelined Thursday vs. the Atlanta Hawks. Brooklyn recently shut down Igor Demin for the season due to a plantar fascia injury.

Igor Demin’s rookie campaign has come to an end. The Brooklyn Nets announced that the No. 8 pick will miss the remainder of the season due to aggravation of plantar fasciitis in his left foot. Damien missed most of the offseason due to a torn plantar fascia.

The BYU product has missed Brooklyn’s last four games due to worsening left foot pain. While his season will be cut short, the Nets said Demin is expected to return to basketball activity at the beginning of the offseason and become a full participant in the summer development program. According to head coach Jordi Fernandez, he will not require surgery to resolve the problem.

“[Egor’s] Always been a child who wanted to play, to be outside, to grow; And nothing beats playing the actual game to get better at this level. But obviously, when you have discomfort, and it doesn’t allow you to play at that level, we have to find solutions,” Fernandez said. “At the end of the day, the good thing is that it’s a non-surgical procedure, which is good. And see what is the time table. But obviously getting him to work over the summer and getting better throughout the process and having a summer is important. So, the fact that he won’t be able to play these 20-something games is not for the best, because he wants to and we value real reps. But, at the same time, his health is the number 1 priority. And we are very optimistic and positive about it.

Demin missed several months during the offseason while rehabilitating his plantar fascia injury. After a promising start to the season, the 19-year-old’s production dipped after the All-Star break.

Egor Demin’s promising rookie season cut short due to plantar fascia injury

He averaged 6.6 points on 32.6 percent shooting from the field and 27.6 percent from three in his last six appearances. After not playing in one for over two months, Demin appeared in two back-to-backs during that period.

Fernandez said of Brooklyn’s decision to shut down Demin, “He was dealing with some discomfort, and it got worse and worse. And then we decided to look at it and make sure we could sort it out a little bit. We asked for different opinions and that’s what was recommended to us.”

The Nets’ selection of Demin with their first lottery pick in 15 years drew criticism. However, the Brooklyn guard was one of the NBA’s most productive rookies this season.

Demin averaged 10.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists on .399/.385/.831 shooting splits in 52 appearances. He ranks second in three-point percentage among the 15 newcomers with more than 150 attempts, trailing only Con Knuppel (44.0 percent).

His +3.6 net rating swing (a player’s on vs. off score minus team points allowed per 100 possessions) ranks third among the 15 players under the age of 21 who have played more than 900 minutes this season, according to CleaningTheGlass. Only Con Knuppel (+5.3) and Trey Johnson (+3.9) have posted higher marks.

Demin will now have a full offseason to heal his foot and fine-tune his skill set ahead of Brooklyn’s crucial 2026-27 campaign.

“He’s gotten better at everything we ask him to do. The superpowers he has, he’s shown he can do it at this level, which is really cool. The shooting, not only how real it is, but how fast it goes,” said Fernandez when asked about his assessment of Demin’s rookie season. “His shots in clutch time, all those things, passing on the perimeter. And now defensively and offensively, the physicality that comes with the job and his body getting used to it. He’s taking steps. He’s able to get into the paint more often. Also defensively, he’s more physical and working on that technique. It’s going to come with his player development plan. The sooner we can get him in the summer and continue to work on these things so you can take steps forward.” can, [the better]. But he’s gotten better at everything we’ve asked him to do.”

The Brooklyn Nets could be without one of their top contributors for a long time. Egor Demin was ruled out for Monday’s matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies due to left plantar fascia injury management. This game will mark the rookie guard’s fifth consecutive absence.

Demin missed most of the offseason due to his plantar fascia injury. Jordi Fernandez recently said there is no timetable for the 19-year-old’s return after his injury escalated.

“No [timetable]. He is struggling with his plantar fasciitis. The pain has increased recently. “We are being cautious and trying to figure out what is the best way to move forward for him,” Fernandez said Thursday.

Jordi Fernandez tells me there is no timetable for Egor Demin’s return:

Demin has been one of the Nets’ most consistent contributors this season and one of the NBA’s most productive rookies.

Igor Demin sidelined for Nets after plantar fascia flare-up

The BYU product is averaging 10.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists on .399/.385/.831 shooting splits in 52 appearances. Demin ranks second in three-point percentage among the 15 newcomers with over 150 attempts, trailing only Con Knuppel (44.0 percent). He is one of three rookies to average 10 points and three assists on 36 percent shooting from three or better, along with Knuppel and VJ Edgecombe.

However, Demin’s production decreased after the All-Star break. The Russian floor general is averaging 6.6 points on 32.6 percent shooting from the field and 27.6 percent from three in his last six appearances. After not playing in one for over two months, Demin appeared in two back-to-backs during that period.

The Nets are racing for a spot in the draft lottery standings with 19 games remaining. They are currently tied with the Washington Wizards for the third lottery spot, one game behind the second-place Indiana Pacers and 2.5 games behind the first-place Sacramento Kings.

With Demin sidelined, veteran guard Terrence Mann should remain in Brooklyn’s starting lineup. Fellow rookies Drake Powell and Ben Saraf could also see extended minutes.

周二，布鲁克林篮网队在卡塞亚中心以 124-98 不敌迈阿密热火队，连续第九场失利。在与小迈克尔·波特并肩作战之后，尼克·克拉克斯顿对他的球队在南海滩的第一场背靠背比赛中的表现进行了恰当的描述。

“这是一个全面的恶臭，”克拉克斯顿说。

在重建赛季中，网队正在寻求记分牌之外的胜利。然而，他们很难从周二的表现中找到很多东西。

乔迪·费尔南德斯的球队攻防两端都很糟糕，96投33中（38.4%），三分球32投6中（18.8%），同时出现了18次失误。布鲁克林整个晚上都在努力应对迈阿密的防守。

波特打出了本赛季最差的表现，17投3中，三分球9投0中拿下9分。费尔南德斯在第三节开场两分钟就将他的顶级球员猛拉，一直拖到第四节 9 分 43 秒。

在波特替补上场期间，两人多次交谈。

“我希望迈克和第一支球队能够尽可能努力地比赛，”费尔南德斯在谈到他拉下波特的决定时说道。 “我想挑战他们做到这一点，因为我见过他们这样做，尤其是在防守端。如果发生这种情况，我可以忍受发生的任何事情。如果是这样，那么你就是无私的，你是在为球队效力，并且只会有好事发生。我试图以不同的方式挑战每个人。”

波特是本赛季初 NBA 效率最高的得分手之一，在前 38 场比赛中场均 25.6 分，投篮命中率为 0.482/0.398/0.851。

小迈克尔·波特，新秀控球后卫挣扎，篮网队连续九场失利

许多人预计波特上半场的表现将使他首次入选全明星，他承认这激励了他。然而，自从受到冷落以来，这位27岁的球员的作品已经断崖式下跌。

在过去的11场比赛中，波特场均得到19.2分，投篮命中率为40.8%，三分球命中率为23.5%（85投20中）。在此期间，他的净评级为-21.5，而之前的净评级为-1.5。

虽然波特表现很糟糕，但布鲁克林新秀控球后卫历史上糟糕的表现同样令人沮丧。由于叶戈尔·德明缺阵，诺兰·特拉奥雷和本·萨拉夫在三个季度中各自贡献了零助攻和六次失误。

热火队在三节比赛中以 16 比 6 的比分凭借失误战胜篮网队，建立起永不回头的领先优势。

“[Nolan and Ben] 需要成长。他们需要成长、观察并从中学习，”费尔南德斯说。“而且我知道他们会更好。如果他们还年轻，这不是借口。我看过他们的比赛，他们比 12 次失误和 0 次助攻要好得多。他们如何组织团队、如何发声，所有这些都很重要。”

诺亚·克劳尼是周二布鲁克林唯一的亮点之一。这位三年级前锋8投4中、罚球9中8拿下17分和7个篮板。丹尼·沃尔夫替补出场20分钟，10投5中，得到11分、5个篮板和5次助攻。

The Brooklyn Nets looked like a team still on vacation during their first game after the All-Star break. Jordi Fernandez’s team sleepwalked through a 112-84 loss to the streaking Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday to start the second half of the season.

This game marked the Nets’ NBA-leading eighth wire-to-wire loss of the season. Brooklyn trails by 43 points.

“It was everything. The physicality, the intensity, all those things we weren’t matching up to,” Fernandez said. “Their physicality, their intensity was exactly what a winning team should be. We weren’t even close.”

With starting center Nick Claxton sidelined, the Nets had no answer for the Cavaliers on both ends during the lopsided loss. He shot 30 of 87 (34.5 percent) from the field and 14 of 49 (28.6 percent) from three.

Brooklyn offered little resistance defensively as the Cavs shot 44-of-86 (51.2 percent), with seven players reaching double figures.

Brooklyn’s lack of engagement was evident from the opening tip. After some miscommunication on their first two possessions, Fernandez called a timeout 40 seconds into the game in an attempt to wake up his team. He had little success in doing so.

“It was two mistakes that were completely controllable, and it tells me about the readiness of our players. It was a lack of effort and readiness, and I’m not going to let it fly. And we didn’t wake up,” Fernandez said. “We know we are better, our standards are higher than this. Now we have to go to the next level, and hold everyone accountable, including me, and go and fight better [on Friday in Oklahoma City]”

Michael Porter Jr. led the Nets with 14 points, five rebounds and two assists on 5 of 13 shooting. Ochai Agbaji added 13 points on 5-of-5 shooting off the bench during his second game with Brooklyn. Danny Wolf scored 11 points and seven assists on 4-of-12 shooting, while Egor Demin had 10 points on 3-of-8 shooting.

Donovan Mitchell scored a game-high 17 points on 7-of-12 shooting for Cleveland, while James Harden added 16 points and nine assists on 6-of-8 shooting.

The loss brings a ray of hope for the Nets, who are tied with the Washington Wizards for fourth place in the draft lottery standings. Brooklyn is tied in the win column and twice behind the Indiana Pacers and New Orleans Pelicans in the loss column, who are in second place.

Fernandez’s team will be back in action on Friday during a road matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
