Egor Demin opened up on how he views himself positionally with the Nets following his Summer League debut.

Egor Demin is about to get his first taste of NBA action. The former BYU star will begin his Brooklyn Nets career at the NBA’s Las Vegas Summer League this week, with Game 1 coming Thursday afternoon against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Four of the Nets’ record five first-round picks made their debuts, and all came with the requisite annual public service warning: Don’t make too much of summer league. The only sure things in Las Vegas are the weather is scorching outside and the basketball sloppy inside. This was no different.

The Nets’ historic rookie class debuts Thursday night as Brooklyn takes on the Oklahoma City Thunder in their opening game of the NBA 2K26 Summer League in Las Vegas.

Wolf’s fellow frontcourt starter at Michigan, Vladislav Goldin, will take the court for the Miami Heat on Friday (4:30 p.m., ESPN2). Goldin, who was undrafted but signed a two-way contract, appeared in two games with Miami at smaller version of Summer League, the California Classic. He averaged 16.1 minutes, 8.5 points, and four rebounds there.

The most anticipated on-court event on the summer basketball calendar begins Thursday as the Las Vegas Summer League gets started with a seven-game slate. The headlining matchup of the multi-week event from Sin City will feature No.

There was no news on Cam Thomas’ contract, but the decision to renounce the rights seems to indicate that the Nets are trying to build up their cap space, their flexibility. Smith also stated that Brooklyn has about $22 million available, plus the MLE and Thomas’ Bird Rights if they want to go over the cap.
