| Hornets head coach Steve Clifford confirmed Wednesday that Martin (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports. "Those two guys are not going to be able to come back," Clifford said of Martin and Seth Curry (ankle). "And it doesn't mean we can't play well. It doesn't mean we can't be proud of how we play. But that's just where we are at. Listen, it's not ideal." The Scoop:Within the past two days, the Hornets have elected to shut down Martin, Curry and LaMelo Ball (ankle) for the season while all three have already missed extended time with ankle injuries, and Boone relays that center Mark Williams' (back) season is most likely over as well. Martin appeared in 28 games (22 starts) this season and averaged 7.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 26.9 minutes per game. Martin has played in just 35 games the last two seasons due to injuries but has one more guaranteed year on the four-year contract he signed in July 2022, so he should be back in Charlotte for the 2024-25 season.

| Still out Martin (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hawks. The Scoop: Martin hasn't played since March 1 due to a left ankle sprain. He's due for another evaluation soon, but until the team releases an update, he can be considered week-to-week. Mar 22 9:22 ET |
| Out at least two weeks The Hornets announced Monday that Martin (ankle) will be evaluated in two weeks. The Scoop: Martin and Seth Curry (ankle) are slated to miss at least the next two weeks, and with LaMelo Ball (ankle) also out indefinitely, the Hornets will likely have to rely on the likes of Vasilije Micic, Bryce McGowens and Nick Smith to fill more minutes out of the backcourt, Health has been an issue for Martin all season long, as he's appeared in 42 of 63 games thus far.

| Won't play Sunday Martin (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raptors. The Scoop: Martin and Seth Curry (ankle) are both out for at least one game after starting Friday's loss to the 76ers but leaving early. Brandon Miller (back) is expected to return following a one-game absence, but Vasilije Micic, Davis Bertans and Bryce McGowens are all candidates for a few extra minutes with Martin and Curry sidelined.

| Exits with left ankle injury Martin won't return to Friday's game versus the 76ers due to a left ankle injury.
