Nets' Egor Demin: Goes through 5-on-5

Demin participated in a five-on-five scrimmage at Tuesday's practice, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

This is a pretty big milestone in Demin's recovery from his plantar fascia tear. Demin's status for the preseason finale against Toronto on Friday remains in the air, but his chances of suiting up for Opening Night are trending up.
