Hornets' Cody Martin: Shut down for rest of season
Rotowire
Hornets head coach Steve Clifford confirmed Wednesday that Martin (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports. "Those two guys are not going to be able to come back," Clifford said of Martin and Seth Curry (ankle). "And it doesn't mean we can't play well. It doesn't mean we can't be proud of how we play. But that's just where we are at. Listen, it's not ideal."
Within the past two days, the Hornets have elected to shut down Martin, Curry and LaMelo Ball (ankle) for the season while all three have already missed extended time with ankle injuries, and Boone relays that center Mark Williams' (back) season is most likely over as well. Martin appeared in 28 games (22 starts) this season and averaged 7.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 26.9 minutes per game. Martin has played in just 35 games the last two seasons due to injuries but has one more guaranteed year on the four-year contract he signed in July 2022, so he should be back in Charlotte for the 2024-25 season.

Rotowire
Martin recorded 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals in 31 minutes during Sunday's 93-80 win over Portland.
Martin has been doing an excellent job since being promoted to a starting role in late January, but this was one of his best performances of the season by a sizable margin. Aside from the fact the 10 assists were a season-high mark for him, it was also his first double-double since the 2020-21 campaign. Martin should remain in a starting role when the Hornets take on the Bucks on Tuesday.

Hornets' Cody Martin: Excels in return
Rotowire
Martin (knee) logged 19 points (7-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and two steals across 28 minutes in Wednesday's 123-117 loss to the Raptors.
Martin had missed the Hornets' last two games with a right knee contusion, but he stepped back into the starting five Wednesday and came through with one of his best all-around outings of the season. With LaMelo Ball (ankle) facing an uncertain timeline for a return, Martin could have an open window to serve as the Hornets' starting point guard, provided Charlotte doesn't add any other options at the position prior to Thursday's trade deadline. Though Martin should notice an uptick in assist and scoring opportunities while he's running at point guard, he'll see a downtown in his fantasy value when he eventually moves to an off-ball role to accommodate Ball's return.
