Martin finished Sunday's 116-115 overtime win over the 76ers with nine points (3-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, four steals and two blocks over 30 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Although he struggled with his shot during Sunday's overtime loss, Martin earned his minutes with his energy on the defensive side of the floor, co-leading the Raptors in stocks with fellow rookie Collin Murray-Boyles. Martin was on the floor late in the fourth quarter and all of overtime, and he has taken advantage of the extra playing time available due to the absences of Brandon Ingram (thumb), RJ Barrett (ankle) and Jakob Poeltl (back). Ja'Kobe Walter also left in the first quarter and did not return due to a right hip injury, so depending on his availability along with Ingram, Barrett and Poeltl, Martin could maintain his elevated role in Monday's rematch against Philadelphia.

Martin finished Friday's 125-117 loss to Boston with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three assists, one rebound and one block over 15 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie second-rounder has spent most of the 2025-26 regular season either in the G League or riding the pine with the Raptors, but he and the rest of the bench saw elevated minutes Friday due to the absences of Scottie Barnes (knee) and Brandon Ingram (thumb). Martin saw most of his minutes in the second half and posted multiple career highs. RJ Barrett exited the contest in the fourth quarter due to a left ankle injury, so Martin could remain in the rotation against the 76ers on Sunday depending on the availability of Barrett, Barnes and Ingram.

Martin chipped in 13 points (4-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds and two steals over 21 minutes in Thursday's 81-69 Summer League win over the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Martin reached double figures off the bench Thursday and contributed well on the boards. The No. 39 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft played a key role in Florida's NCAA championship run last season.

Martin generated 16 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals during 21 minutes of Friday's 116-72 Summer League win over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Martin dazzled in his NBA debut, scoring the second-most points on the Raptors while shooting 50 percent from the field. The 6-foot-2 guard showcased his athleticism and versatility while rounding out his stat line with a handful of rebounds and assists. The No. 39 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft will be on a two-way contract as a rookie, but he could be on the fast track to NBA regular-season action if he continues to perform like he did Friday.

Martin signed a two-way contract with the Raptors on Thursday, Coty Wiles of RaptorsRepublic.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Martin, who was selected by the Raptors with the No. 39 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, figures to spend a considerable amount of time in the G League to open the 2025-26 campaign. He averaged 14.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.5 steals per game in his lone year with Florida, and he's likely to play a featured role for the Raptors in Summer League.
