That's a weird goof. It is definitely an error. His rookie contract doesn't end until 2029.
Here's Demin's contract page at spotrac and as you can see, it shows him as RFA in 2029-30. Every place you see his name on their pages, you can click on his name and it takes you to his contract. How he happens to have been placed on a spotrac list of 2026 FA's, who knows, but not true. https://www.spotrac.com/nba/player/_/id/...egor-demin
Here's spotrac's BKN page for next season, and as you can see, Demin is listed as already being under contract. https://www.spotrac.com/nba/brooklyn-net.../year/2026
We don't need to ask spotrac. He was just drafted in 2025 and was an early 1st-rounder (pick 8), which means he is under contract with BKN for basically 4 years with a RFA year after that. Rookie 1st rounders ALL get standardized contracts where their drafting team gets at least 4-5 years of contractual control. There's no such thing for a 1st rounder as a 1-year contract.
