The Dallas Mavericks are hopeful that Caleb Martin will recover from his hip sprain in about two to three weeks. This injury's severity necessitated adjustments to their recent trade with the Philadelphia 76ers, where the 76ers incorporated a future second-round draft pick as part of the agreement. Despite the initial concern, the Mavericks opted to proceed with the trade rather than void it. Martin is in his first season of a four-year deal and has impactful stats, while Quentin Grimes comes with promising averages as well.
The Dallas Mavericks are optimistic that Caleb Martin can return from a sprained hip in two to three weeks after the severity of his injury prompted an amendment of their trade with the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Mavs could have voided the deal following Martin's physical, but the teams agreed for the 76ers to add a 2030 second-round draft pick to the return for shooting guard Quentin Grimes.
Martin has not played since injuring his hip on Jan. 10. He is averaging 9.1 points and 4.4 rebounds per game in his first season of a four-year, $35 million contract.
Grimes, 24, is averaging 10.2 points and 3.8 rebounds per game in the final year of his rookie contract.
