## Summary

Egor Dëmin returned from a six-game absence with a team-high 22 points as Brooklyn beat New Orleans 145-111. His strong performance mattered after a slow start to the season, and helped the Nets cover several absences at point guard.

Dëmin, who had been sidelined by a bone bruise in his right leg suffered on 27 October, shot 5 of 8 overall and 4 of 6 from three-point range. He also made 8 of 10 free throws and finished plus-29, after averaging 7.8 points on 31 per cent shooting before the injury; Nolan Traore and Mikel Brown Jr were unavailable for Brooklyn.
