Caleb Martin Latest News
Hopeful to return in 2-3 weeks

The Mavericks are optimistic that Martin (hip) will return to action in 2-3 weeks, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports. Martin was shipped from the 76ers to the Mavericks ahead of the trade deadline, but a physical done by Dallas revealed that the 29-year-old forward will likely be sidelined for an extended period. Martin hasn't played since Jan. 10 due to his right hip strain, but it appears that the Mavericks are optimistic that he can return to action following the All-Star break.
Target date for debut unclear

A specific timetable for Martin's Mavericks debut has not yet been established, despite Dallas not having long-term concerns about his right hip strain, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports. Martin hasn't played since Jan. 10 due to a right hip strain but was traded from Philadelphia to Dallas in exchange for Quentin Grimes on Tuesday. While the Mavericks reportedly don't expect the 29-year-old forward to be sidelined long-term, the 76ers did add an additional second-round pick to the trade package after Martin underwent his physical. This could indicate that he will be headed for a lengthier absence than initially believed.
Out again Thursday

Martin (trade pending) is listed as out for Thursday's game versus Boston. Martin, who was just acquired from the 76ers on Tuesday, will have to wait until Saturday against Houston for his debut. With Martin sidelined for a second straight game, the Mavericks will likely lean heavily on Max Christie and Naji Marshall.
Listed as out Tuesday

Martin (recently traded) is out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers. After being traded to the Mavericks on Tuesday, Martin is listed as out while the trade becomes finalized. The veteran swingman was initially listed as questionable due to a hip injury, so it's unclear if he's still dealing with the issue. With Martin sidelined and Quentin Grimes on the move, Spencer Dinwiddie and Max Christie are primed for significant roles in Dallas' rotation against Philadelphia.
Dealt to Dallas

The Mavericks acquired Martin (hip) from the 76ers on Tuesday in exchange for guard Quentin Grimes and a 2025 second-round pick, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Though Martin signed a three-year deal with Philadelphia this summer, he had gotten off to a lackluster start to his tenure with the 76ers, averaging 9.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.1 three-pointers and 1.1 steals across 30.4 minutes per game while shooting 43.5 percent from the field through 31 appearances. He had missed the 76ers' last 12 games with a right hip sprain, but he practiced fully Monday and had been listed as questionable heading into Tuesday's matchup with the Mavericks. He'll ultimately move across to the other locker room in Dallas, but it's not clear if he'll be called upon to play right away for his new team. Once Martin is deemed ready to make his Dallas debut, he could be headed for a bench role, as Anthony Davis (calf) and PJ Washington (personal) are projected to serve as the team's top two forwards when available.
Questionable against Dallas

Martin (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks. Martin has been sidelined by a hip injury since Jan. 10, but he'll have a shot to return to Philadelphia's lineup Tuesday after practicing Monday. If the veteran swingman cannot play against Dallas, Justin Edwards and Ricky Council would continue playing meaningful roles for the 76ers.
Practices Monday

Martin (hip) was able to practice Monday, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports. Martin, who has been sidelined since Jan. 10, continues to trend in the right direction. He was listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Celtics before eventually being ruled out, so he can be considered day-to-day going forward.
Won't play Sunday

Martin (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Celtics, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. Martin hasn't played since Jan. 10, but it appears he's nearing a return after initially being listed as questionable for Sunday's game. With Paul George (finger) and Eric Gordon (knee) also out, Justin Edwards and Ricky Council are candidates for increased roles.
Questionable for Sunday

Martin (hip) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Celtics. Martin has missed the last 11 games for the 76ers as he deals with a right hip strain. Philadelphia is dealing with injuries, with notable players Joel Embiid (knee), Paul George (finger) and KJ Martin (foot) already ruled out for this matchup against Boston. Eric Gordon, Kelly Oubre, Guerschon Yabusele and Justin Edwards will likely continue to get more time on the floor due to all these injuries.
