The Dallas Mavericks have been hit harder than any other team in the NBA by the injury bug this year, and just when it seems like they've caught a break, they get dealt another injury. After Kyrie Irving suffered a season-ending injury on Monday, the Mavericks lost another player, Olivier-Maxence Prosper, for the rest of the year too.

Martin went on a legendary run with the Miami Heat in the 2023 playoffs, almost being named Eastern Conference Finals MVP. Otherwise, he's been a solid defender and three-point shooter in his career. In the 31 games he appeared in for the Philadelphia 76ers, he averaged 9.1 PPG and 4.4 RPG while shooting 37.9% from three-point range.
