Martin racked up seven points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one block and three steals in 17 minutes during Wednesday's 127-121 win over the Bulls.
Martin now has three games under his belt with Phoenix after a lengthy injury absence. He holds averages of 2.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.5 steals in 14.0 minutes in that span. He's worth monitoring in deeper formats in case his minutes continue to trend in the right direction.

Suns' Cody Martin: Probable Monday
Rotowire
Martin (sports hernia) is probable for Monday's game against the Raptors.
Following nearly a two-month absence, Martin returned to action Sunday and tallied three points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and one block across eight minutes during a 107-96 loss to the Lakers. After a small workload, he'll likely be available for the second half of Phoenix's back-to-back set and should remain part of the rotation, as Grayson Allen (foot) and Bradley Beal (hamstring) both remain out.

Suns' Cody Martin: Makes team debut
Rotowire
Martin (sports hernia) tallied three points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and one block across eight minutes in Sunday's 107-96 loss to the Lakers.
Martin saw his first game action since Jan. 24, when he suited up for the Hornets for a final time before suffering a sports hernia injury prior to being traded to Phoenix on Feb. 6. The Suns cleared Martin to make his team debut in Friday's 122-106 win over the Kings, but he couldn't crack the rotation for that contest. Martin didn't appear to be on track to receive playing time Sunday, but after Bradley Beal (hamstring) was ruled out for the game following halftime, Martin got the chance to pick up some minutes on the wing. Beal seems likely to sit out Monday against the Raptors, but if Grayson Allen (foot) is available for the second leg of the back-to-back set, Martin could end up getting squeezed out of the rotation.

Suns' Cody Martin: Without return timetable
Rotowire
Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer said Saturday that he had no update regarding when Martin (sports hernia) would be ready to play, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. "He's putting work in. I think he's making progress, but I don't have an update on his expected return time," Budenholzer said. "I think we'll cross that bridge when we get to it."
After being acquired from the Hornets on Feb. 6, Martin has yet to make his Suns debut while he continues to recover from a sports hernia, an issue that cropped up in late January. A target date for Martin's return should emerge once he's taking part in full-contact practices, but at this stage of his recovery, he remains limited to light pregame work. Martin's absence looks as though it will stretch into March.

Suns' Cody Martin: Likely out through All-Star break
Rotowire
Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer suggested Monday that Martin (sports hernia) likely won't be available to play until after the All-Star break, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Martin had missed seven consecutive games while recovering from a sports hernia before the Hornets traded him to the Suns on Thursday. The 29-year-old wing has reported to the Suns but doesn't appear to have resumed practicing yet, so the team will likely hold him out Tuesday versus the Grizzlies and Wednesday in Houston to give him some more time to heal up from the sports hernia. Martin had averaged 24.8 minutes per game over his 39 appearances for Charlotte, but he'll likely to struggle to reach that level of playing time on a playoff-contending Suns squad.
