Spurs' Kevin Martin: Scores 10 points in Game 2 win
Kevin 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 San Antonio 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.

Spurs' Kevin Martin: Officially signs with San Antonio
Kevin Martin officially signed with the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday, Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports reports.Martin had reached an agreement to join the Spurs several days earlier, but the team needed to open up a roster spot for him before he was eligible to play. The team did just that Wednesday, waiving veteran swingman Rasual Butler. It's unclear if Martin will be available for Thursday's game against the Bulls after having limited practicing time with his new team, but it shouldn't be long before he finds a role in the rotation as a designated sharpshooter off the bench. Since the Timberwolves waived Martin before March 1, he'll be eligible for the postseason with his new squad.

Spurs' Kevin Martin: Won't be available Monday
Kevin Martin (coach's decision) won't be available for Monday's game against the Pacers, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.Though he's agreed to terms on a contract with the San Antonio Spurs, Martin hasn't officially been added to the roster, as the team still needs to cut another player to make room for the veteran shooting guard. As a result, Martin didn't make the trip with the team to Indianapolis, and will remain away from the squad until his deal becomes official.
