The Brooklyn Nets have unveiled their 2026-27 NBA schedule in a promotional video featuring two-way players Egor Demin and Mikel Brown Jr. The team, coming off a 136-101 loss to the Toronto Raptors on April 12, 2026, will look to rebound after a five-game losing streak (0W-0D-5L).
What’s in the video?
The Nets’ schedule release video prominently features Demin, a 20-year-old Russian guard, and Brown Jr., a 22-year-old undrafted rookie. Both players have been key contributors in the G League, with Demin averaging 12.5 points and 4.2 assists per game. The video highlights their energy and potential as the Nets prepare for the upcoming season.
Why it matters for Brooklyn Nets
After a disappointing end to the 2025-26 season, the Nets are focusing on youth development. Demin and Brown Jr. represent the future of the franchise, and their inclusion in the schedule video signals the team’s commitment to building around young talent. The Nets finished the last season with a five-game losing streak, including a 35-point defeat to the Raptors.
What comes next?
The Brooklyn Nets will begin their preseason training camp in September, with Demin and Brown Jr. expected to compete for roster spots. The team’s first official game of the 2026-27 season is scheduled for October 18 against the New York Knicks. Fans will be watching closely to see if the young duo can translate their G League success to the NBA level.
