On Wednesday, HoopsHype's Michael Scotto reported that the Pacers were signing former Phoenix Suns forward Cody Martin to a 10-day hardship contract. Indiana has eight players listed as out before Wednesday's game against Brooklyn, so the Pacers turned to Martin for some help.
Martin spent the second half of last season with the Suns after Phoenix acquired him in the Jusuf Nurkic trade with the Hornets, which was a salary dump. He appeared in 14 games for the Suns to finish out the 2024-25 season, averaging 3.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game in 14.7 minutes.
