Martin (illness) says he'll play in Saturday's game, the Star Tribune's Jerry Zgoda reports.

Sat Apr 11 201515:32Kevin Martin: (Illness) Questionable For Saturday

Martin played through his illness Friday against the Lakers in Los Angeles, where he managed just six points (2-8 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, and three turnovers in 26 minutes. Because Robbie Hummel (back) is also questionable Saturday, Lorenzo Brown and Chase Budinger could pick up additional run at two-guard.

If he had stayed healthy, Martin would have had a great season.
