CODY MARTIN NEWS

Logs 13 points in second game back Martin closed with 13 points (6-6 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and three steals in 33 minutes during Sunday's 127-126 overtime loss to the Pistons.

Impact Martin's return is a welcome sign for the Hornets, who ran on an extremely thin rotation amid his absence. Although the Hornets will continue to top-load their usage with their starting five, Martin will be a valuable piece of their system, allowing their elite players to stay fresh.

Upgraded to available Martin (back) will be available for Sunday's contest against the Pistons, Rod Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Martin was a late addition to the injury report Sunday and was listed as doubtful, so it's quite the turn of events for the third-year wing. He returned to action Friday following a six-game absence due to an Achilles injury and totaled eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt) across 12 minutes of action. He figures to have a similar role Sunday.

Available Friday Martin (Achilles) is available for Friday's matchup against the Raptors.

Probable Friday Martin (Achilles) is probable for Friday's game against Toronto.

Impact Martin participated in practice Wednesday and is expected to get more reps Thursday, so it appears likely that he'll be able to return to the court for Friday's matchup.
