Why Is KJ Martin Not Playing Tonight? Truth Behind Major Trade Rumors After Caleb Martin’s Exit

This year’s trade deadline week has brought a lot of chaos into the NBA. Luka Doncic’s unexpected transfer shocked the world, whereas Jimmy Butler remains at the Miami Heat. Teams seem more intent on switching things up this year than ever. And the Philadelphia 76ers‘ KJ Martin may be the next player on the chopping block.

You see, KJ Martin was listed as questionable for the 76ers’ game tonight against the Dallas Mavericks. Not surprising, considering he’s only played 24 games this season, right? Well, just a few hours later, in a subsequent report, his status was updated to OUT. The reason listed was “trade pending.”

 

A source confirms that Sixers forward KJ Martin will not play tonight vs. the Dallas Mavericks due to a trade pending. @KyleNeubeck was first to report the news.
