Nets Rookie Egor Demin Ties 33-Game 3-Pointer Streak Record

Brooklyn Nets rookie guard Egor Demin tied an NBA record on Tuesday night by making at least one 3-pointer in his 33rd consecutive game, matching the longest such streak for a first-year player. The 19-year-old, selected eighth overall in the 2025 NBA Draft, achieved the milestone in a 106-102 loss to the Phoenix Suns, where he scored 15 points, grabbed five rebounds and dished three assists on 5-of-9 shooting, including 3-of-7 from beyond the arc.

Demin's consistency from deep has defined his debut season. Through 39 games, mostly as a starter, he averages 10.2 points, 3.4 assists and three rebounds while shooting 39.9 percent from the field and 39.6 percent from 3-point range on 6.2 attempts per game. His 95 made 3-pointers rank second among rookies, and he holds the Nets' single-game rookie record with seven triples against the Golden State Warriors on December 29. A make in the Nets' next game against the Denver Nuggets on Thursday would give Demin sole possession of the all-time rookie streak.

The Russian native's rapid improvement stands out against his college performance at Brigham Young University, where he averaged 10.6 points, 5.5 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.2 steals...
