The Nets announced Monday that Demin (foot) will miss the rest of the season, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

Brooklyn has been managing Demin's workload since the preseason, as the guard has been dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot all year, and the team is proceeding with an abundance of caution to get the issue fully resolved. Demin will end his rookie campaign with averages of 10.3 points, 3.3 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 2.4 three-pointers in 25.2 minutes per contest through 52 regular-season games. With the rookie first-rounder's season finished, the Nets should turn to Nolan Traore and Ben Saraf to handle the bulk of the ball-handling duties to close out the season.
