Cody Martin Remains Out With Wrist Issue
Cody Martin (wrist) missed a fourth consecutive preseason game on Tuesday against the Knicks. He hurt his right wrist before the start of preseason, and while Martin was initially considered day-to-day, he still hasn't shaken off the injury. Entering training camp, Martin also had an ankle problem. It looks like 2024-25 could be another injury-plagued campaign for Martin, who's managed to suit up for only 35 games across the previous two seasons. Before running into injuries, Martin was on an upward trajectory. Now, there are question marks regarding his role on the team, and Martin might even struggle to average 20 minutes of action this season, which will negatively impact his fantasy value.

Cody Martin Out Through The All-Star Break
Cody Martin (hernia) will not debut for his new team until after the All-Star break. Phoenix will be in action twice before the break, playing out a back-to-back set on Tuesday and Wednesday. Martin hasn't played since Jan. 24 due to a sports hernia. Before moving to Phoenix, Martin averaged 7.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 24.8 minutes with the Charlotte Hornets. It's unlikely he will get near these numbers with his new team, as there are now a lot more bodies ahead of Martin on the depth chart.

Cody Martin Headed To Phoenix
Cody Martin along with guard Vasilije Micic and a 2026 second-round pick from the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for Jusuf Nurkic and a first-round pick. While the trade was mostly about moving Nurkic, Martin is an interesting addition to the Suns. The 29-year-old has been limited to 39 games this season but has produced 7.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.1 steals in his 24.8 minutes per game. He has shown good upside in higher usage situations, and he could work his way into a meaningful role in the Suns' second unit, but his role is very undefined at this point.

Cody Martin Inactive For Friday Against Clippers
Cody Martin (abdomen) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Martin will miss his fourth contest in a row due to a sports hernia injury. Josh Green (foot) is listed as probable for this evening, so if he can suit up, he will take a large amount of Martins minutes on the floor. Josh Okogie and DaQuan Jeffries could also see expanded roles versus the Clippers.
