Egor Demin Injury: Another absence coming

Demin (foot) won't play in Thursday's game against Miami, per C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News.

The rookie first-rounder's absence is running up to three games for left plantar fascia injury management. Terance Mann is lined up for a third consecutive start at shooting guard Thursday, with Nolan Traore also being set for a rise in ball-handling duties at point guard.
