Caleb Martin: Declines player option with Heat
Rotowire
Martin declined his $7.12 million player option Saturday, and he will become an unrestricted free agent, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Martin revived his career with the Heat after starting with two lackluster years on the Hornets. Over his three-year span with Miami, the 28-year-old averaged 9.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.9 steals across 26.6 minutes.
