Nets' Egor Demin (rest) available Wednesday vs. Pacers

The Brooklyn Nets are playing better basketball as of late as they are taking care of business against some of the weaker opponents on their schedule heading into the All-Star Break. Brooklyn has been in an extended rut since the calendar turned to January, but the good news is that they should be able to finish strong with one of the more important players back in the lineup.

The Nets announced on Tuesday that rookie guard Egor Demin is off of the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers, giving Brooklyn their starting shooting guard back in the rotation. Demin had missed Monday's 123-115 win over the Chicago Bulls due to rest, but head coach Jordi Fernandez said prior to the game that Demin's rest wasn't related to any kind of injury.

Demin, 19, is having a solid rookie season as he's averaging 10.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game while shooting 40.7% from the field and 39.5% from three-point land. With Demin back in the lineup, rookie forward Danny Wolf will most likely head back to the bench given what Fernandez's starting lineup has been like with forward Michael Porter Jr. out of the rotation.

Speaking of Porter, he is ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers as he continues to deal with his right knee tendinitis that caused him to miss Monday's win over Chicago. Prior to Monday's win over the Bulls, Fernandez said that Porter is considered "day-to-day" with his current injury, but it seems like that the team wants to give him more time recover so that he can ready to go coming out of the All-Star Break.

Lastly, Brooklyn announced that forward Noah Clowney is listed as probable for Wednesday's against Indiana due to a left ankle sprain, which is better news than him being listed as questionable, for example. Clowney had one of his best games in recent memory against the Bulls as he dropped 22 points and six rebounds so the hope is that he'll be able to go against a Pacers team that has struggled to win games this season as well.

For tomorrow's game against the Pacers, the Nets say that Michael Porter Jr. (right knee tendinitis) remains OUT.

Noah Clowney (left ankle sprain) is PROBABLE.
