Raptors' Alijah Martin: Sees more minutes due to injuries
Rotowire
Martin finished Friday's 125-117 loss to Boston with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three assists, one rebound and one block over 15 minutes.
The rookie second-rounder has spent most of the 2025-26 regular season either in the G League or riding the pine with the Raptors, but he and the rest of the bench saw elevated minutes Friday due to the absences of Scottie Barnes (knee) and Brandon Ingram (thumb). Martin saw most of his minutes in the second half and posted multiple career highs. RJ Barrett exited the contest in the fourth quarter due to a left ankle injury, so Martin could remain in the rotation against the 76ers on Sunday depending on the availability of Barrett, Barnes and Ingram.

Martin chipped in 13 points (4-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds and two steals over 21 minutes in Thursday's 81-69 Summer League win over the Warriors.
Martin reached double figures off the bench Thursday and contributed well on the boards. The No. 39 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft played a key role in Florida's NCAA championship run last season.

Raptors' Alijah Martin: All-around effort in SL rout
Rotowire
Martin generated 16 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals during 21 minutes of Friday's 116-72 Summer League win over Chicago.
Martin dazzled in his NBA debut, scoring the second-most points on the Raptors while shooting 50 percent from the field. The 6-foot-2 guard showcased his athleticism and versatility while rounding out his stat line with a handful of rebounds and assists. The No. 39 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft will be on a two-way contract as a rookie, but he could be on the fast track to NBA regular-season action if he continues to perform like he did Friday.

Raptors' Alijah Martin: Signs two-way contract
Rotowire
Martin signed a two-way contract with the Raptors on Thursday, Coty Wiles of RaptorsRepublic.com reports.
Martin, who was selected by the Raptors with the No. 39 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, figures to spend a considerable amount of time in the G League to open the 2025-26 campaign. He averaged 14.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.5 steals per game in his lone year with Florida, and he's likely to play a featured role for the Raptors in Summer League.

Raptors' Alijah Martin: Selected by Raptors
Rotowire
Martin was selected by the Raptors with the No. 39 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
Martin played a prominent role in the Gators' 2024-25 National Championship campaign, averaging 14.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.5 steals per game in his lone year with Florida. He's expected to see minutes off the bench with Toronto and should adjust well on the defensive side of the ball, but he needs to be more consistent with his three-point shot to become a reliable weapon on offense. Martin should fight for minutes in the rotation as a rookie, but don't expect him to make waves in fantasy.
