In related news, the Nets announced that starting point guard Yegor Demyanov suffered a bone contusion during a game against Boston and will miss at least a week. This injury could lead to increased playing time for Scheir, who has only seen four minutes of action this season, primarily in garbage time. The team's current point guards are Micah Brown Jr. and Nolan Traore, with shooting guard Keon Ellis also capable of bringing the ball up.
The Nets are scheduled to play Detroit, Indiana, and New York in the coming week, followed by a game against Charlotte. Scheir had been practicing with the Nets' G League affiliate prior to these developments.
