Cody Martin DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Cody Martin (abdomen) will be active on Friday against the Sacramento Kings. He is set to end a lengthy absence, having last taken the court on Jan. 24 when he was still a member of the Charlotte Hornets. The 29-year-old has been dealing with a sports hernia. Considering the team's struggles, Phoenix must be delighted to get some extra help in the form of Martin, through he is not expected to have a significant impact in fantasy basketball.

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Cody Martin (hernia) will not debut for his new team until after the All-Star break. Phoenix will be in action twice before the break, playing out a back-to-back set on Tuesday and Wednesday. Martin hasn't played since Jan. 24 due to a sports hernia. Before moving to Phoenix, Martin averaged 7.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 24.8 minutes with the Charlotte Hornets. It's unlikely he will get near these numbers with his new team, as there are now a lot more bodies ahead of Martin on the depth chart.

The Phoenix Suns acquired forward Cody Martin along with guard Vasilije Micic and a 2026 second-round pick from the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for Jusuf Nurkic and a first-round pick. While the trade was mostly about moving Nurkic, Martin is an interesting addition to the Suns. The 29-year-old has been limited to 39 games this season but has produced 7.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.1 steals in his 24.8 minutes per game. He has shown good upside in higher usage situations, and he could work his way into a meaningful role in the Suns' second unit, but his role is very undefined at this point.
