Martin is dealing with an illness and will not play in Sunday’s Game 4 against the Grizzlies, Jabari Young of San Antonio Express-News reports.Martin went into Friday’s Game 3 available to play, but was eventually held out because of an illness. He’s still feeling some lingering effects and will sit out of Sunday’s Game 4 as well. The illness likely won’t keep Martin out for long and if the Spurs finish off the sweep Sunday, the earliest they could start the second round is next Saturday, which means Martin should have nearly a week off for recovery.

Martin scored 10 points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT) to go with one assist and one rebound across 17 minutes in Tuesday’s 94-68 win over the Grizzlies in Game 2 of the series.By virtue of the Spurs throttling the Grizzlies in both of the first two games of the series, Martin has been able to see some increased shot attempts while coming off the bench, leading to back-to-back 10-point outings. While he was once one of the game’s top scoring guards during his prime, Martin seems content to settle into a role as a low-minute three-point shooter off the bench, which will limit his production more often than not.

Martin poured in 17 points (5-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and added six rebounds and a steal over 26 minutes in Friday’s 102-98 loss to the Nuggets.The 12-year veteran put together his best effort since being acquired in a trade with the Timberwolves at the end of February. Always a potentially dangerous marksman, Martin connected on a pair of threes while also doing some solid work on the glass. While the minutes boost was encouraging, Martin may see his playing time reduced if coach Gregg Popovich returns to his regular rotation for the Spurs next contest versus the Warriors on Sunday.

Martin (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Lakers.Shortly before Monday’s game against the Jazz, it was announced that Martin would not be in the starting lineup due to a hamstring injury. He didn’t end up getting into the game, as the Timberwolves went with a seven-man rotation featuring heavy doses of Zach LaVine, Lorenzo Brown and Chase Budinger. While Martin seemingly stands a chance to return for Wednesday’s game, the Timberwolves are much better off losing the contest, though they may not acknowledge that reality. If he does play, Martin won’t necessarily get minutes in the high-30s or low-40s the way he often has in recent games.

Martin (wrist) will play in Wednesday’s game against the Celtics, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.Word surfaced Tuesday evening that Martin had already been ruled out Wednesday, but it appears that’s not the case. The Star Tribune reports that he’ll take the floor for the first time in more than two months after sitting out with a fractured wrist. Martin had originally planned to return last week but suffered a setback as fluid built up in the wrist. He shot around prior to Monday’s game and said the wrist felt “great,” and after a successful practice session Tuesday, all signs point to Martin making a return Wednesday night.

Martin (wrist) had a pain-free practice Thursday and could return any day now, but he also said it’s unlikely he will return for their next game Friday, the Star Tribune reports. “I think I’m getting close, I think I impressed them today,” Martin said. “I was back to K-Mart today. Today was a big step.”Martin’s return is imminent, but he was non-committal whether or not he’d be able to return during their current road trip that has them playing the Suns on Friday, Nuggets on Saturday, and Hornets on Monday. If Martin is still sitting on the wire, it’s probably time to add him. While there doesn’t seem to be a guarantee of minutes with the team focused on developing their youth, Martin could find increased value if he gets traded to a contender before the trade deadline.

Martin (wrist) has been upgraded to doubtful, but it is “still gonna be a while” before he returns to game action, according to coach Flip Saunders, T-Wolves announcer Alan Horton reports.Saunders said all the doubtful tag means is that Martin is practicing but is still out. It sounds like Martin is closer to week-to-week than day-to-day at this point. Andrew Wiggins will likely remain the T-Wolves’ starting shooting guard for the rest of the season, so it remains to be seen how big of a role Martin will have when he does return, and it might make sense for Minnesota to explore trade options if and when Martin can show that he is healthy.

While the team hasn’t handed down a target return date, Martin should be considered day-to-day and could be back as soon as Tuesday against Indiana, a game for which he’s officially listed as doubtful. In nine games this season, Martin averaged 20.4 points and 3.7 rebounds.
