Martin signed a two-year, $16 million extension with the 76ers on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Martin will boost the team's bench depth due to his positional versatility. However, he's not expected to be a major factor in most fantasy formats. He averaged just 3.7 points and 2.2 rebounds per game across 60 regular-season appearances (two starts) in 2023-24.

Rotowire
Martin (toe) is expected to play Wednesday against the Heat, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Martin is still being listed as questionable on the injury report, but he was able to get through the team's morning shootaround, so it looks like he'll be out there barring a setback during warmups.

76ers' KJ Martin: Significant playing time in win
Rotowire
Martin accumulated four points (2-6 FG), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 21 minutes during Thursday's 109-105 victory over Miami.
The 23-year-old has averaged 14.1 minutes per game since the All-Star break, putting up 3.8 points on 47.5 percent from the field. Due to an increase in minutes, along with a litany of frontcourt injuries, Martin has boosted his rebounding average from just 1.6 to 3.3 after the break. Martin is not expected to provide much fantasy value unless Tobias Harris (knee) is sidelined for an extended period along with Robert Covington (knee).

76ers' KJ Martin: Goes for 11 points off bench
Rotowire
Martin amassed 11 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 13 rebounds and two assists across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 115-102 loss to the Suns.
Martin made his presence felt off the bench and scored in double digits despite not starting for the first time since Feb. 7, when he recorded 15 points in a loss to the Warriors. Martin's role and scoring numbers are very inconsistent, and he rarely reaches double-digit points, so he's better left on the wire even in deep fantasy formats.

76ers' KJ Martin: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Martin (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Milwaukee, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Martin had been listed as probable heading into Sunday with a right ankle impingement, but after being reassessed by the training staff, he'll end up sitting out the matchup with the Bucks. The 23-year-old has averaged 19.0 minutes per game in two appearances since moving back to the bench following the All-Star break, but his absence Sunday will likely result in head coach Nick Nurse leaning more heavily on Mo Bamba and Nicolas Batum to handle backup center duties behind Paul Reed.
