Charlotte Hornets forward Cody Martin (quad) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's season opener. The 27-year-old left in the first quarter and didn't return to the contest. At the moment, Martin should be considered day-to-day with a sore left quad. This is a shame after Martin missed time in the preseason due to a knee injury. He can't seem to stay healthy, but hopefully this injury won't keep him out for long. Terry Rozier, James Bouknight, and Dennis Smith Jr. should gain playing time in his absence. Rozier has the most fantasy value out of the three of them.

Restricted free-agent forward Cody Martin has agreed to a four-year, $32 million deal to return to Charlotte. The 26-year-old is known for his defensive prowess. However, he is coming off the best offensive season of his career, finishing 2021-22 by averaging 7.7 points, including 10.6 points throughout 11 starts. While Martin's fantasy outlook isn't promising, he may receive a bump in responsibilities this season if Miles Bridges doesn't stay in Charlotte.

Charlotte Hornets guard Cody Martin has agreed to a new contract with the organization. The 26-year-old has signed a four-year $32 million deal with Charlotte. Martin put together the best season of his career last year. That being said, the Hornets have rewarded Martin with a new contract. He's expected to play consistent minutes off the bench next season. It's unlikely Martin holds standard league value, but could be a deep league option, assuming he gets significant minutes. As of right now, Kelly Oubre Jr. appears to be his only competition for minutes off the bench.

Charlotte Hornets guard Cody Martin (back) is available for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. His status was uncertain coming in, but it sounds like Martin will play in the second game of this back-to-back set. That being said, Miles Bridges and Kelly Oubre Jr. should go back to their normal roles on Monday. Martin is a decent low-end streaming option for Monday.

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Cody Martin (back) will be available for Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Martin had previously been listed as doubtful for the game, but he was upgraded about an hour before tip-off. He is dealing with lower back tightness. We may see Martin's minutes limited in Sunday's game, especially given the fact that the team is playing the 14-46 Pistons. If Martin is indeed limited in the game, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Miles Bridges could see increased minutes.

Charlotte Hornets guard Cody Martin (back) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was a late addition to the injury report due to back tightness. The Hornets are likely to split up his playing time between Kelly Oubre Jr. and Miles Bridges. Both players could be possible streaming options or DFS candidates with increased roles. Martin is normally a decent fantasy option, so fantasy managers should hold him through his minor back issue.

Charlotte Hornets guard Cody Martin will be available for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. He has cleared protocols and will be back in action for this game. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect the same type of production from when LaMelo Ball and Terry Rozier were sidelined. Martin will have a reduced role off the bench, but could still hold some deep league value.

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Cody Martin will miss Sunday's game against Phoenix because of health and safety protocols. The Hornets just got their band back together but lose a pretty big piece in Martin, who's chipped in nicely at both ends of the floor. Martin's unavailability should boost Kelly Oubre Jr.'s playing time, although he has already been pretty busy lately, even logging 40-plus minutes in back-to-back games last week.

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Cody Martin contributed a career-high 21 points in Wednesday's 131-115 win over San Antonio, shooting 8-for-13 from the field with a perfect 4-for-4 mark from deep. He also notched eight rebounds, three assists and one block in 40 minutes. Martin has been a nice addition to the starting unit lately, helping out in all areas of the game. His three-point shooting has been particularly impressive, as the 26-year-old has gone 54.2 percent from downtown this month. He should do damage from deep again on Friday against a Portland team that allows the fifth-most three-point makes per game.

Charlotte Hornets guard Cody Martin (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. This is good news for the Hornets with LaMelo Ball and Terry Rozier being placed in protocols. Martin could have a significant role going forward with Ball and Rozier likely missing several games. That being said, Martin is worth looking at as a DFS option for Sunday's slate. He'll likely have a bigger role over the next week or so.

Charlotte Hornets guard Cody Martin (illness) was able to take part during Friday's practice. Right now, Martin is on ready to suit up for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. His return should mean less minutes and touches for Jalen McDaniels. Martin was an important contributor when healthy, but Kelly Oubre Jr. remains a better fantasy option.

Charlotte Hornets shooting guard Cody Martin (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Milwaukee. Martin's absence has now reached two games, with the team having kept its rotation at just eight players without him Monday. Martin has played a valuable, defense-centric role off the bench for the Hornets this season, with Kelly Oubre Jr. and Terry Rozier seeing slight bumps in playing time without Martin in the mix. Having averaged just 6.9 points per game during November, Martin can likely remain on the waiver wire in most season-long formats. His next chance to suit up comes Sunday vs. the Hawks.

Charlotte Hornets shooting guard Cody Martin (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Bulls due to a non-COVID-19 illness. Martin's absence will mark his first game missed of the season, making it unclear how head coach James Borrego will distribute his sizable minutes allotment among the second unit. Known primarily for his defensive acumen, Martin is on pace to average new career highs with 7.7 points and 4.1 rebounds, in addition to shooting a whopping 47.6 percent from behind the arc. Kelly Oubre Jr. could see a slight minutes bump without Martin available, while James Bouknight could join the rotation. The next chance for Martin to suit up comes Wednesday vs. Milwaukee.
