Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin is expected to make his 2023 preseason debut Friday, per Ira Winderman of the Sun Sentinel. Martin’s minutes, however, will be limited as he battles back from a knee injury. Still, this is a positive update overall for Martin and the Heat ahead of the 2023-24 season.
Martin, 28, has played an important role for Miami over the past two years. He joined the Heat in 2021 and immediately made an impact as a role player. Martin was also effective in 2022-23. He’s averaged right around 9.5 points per game since joining the Heat, and helps the team on both defense and on the boards.
As all Heat fans certainly know, Martin stepped up for Miami in the 2022-23 playoffs. He averaged 12.7 points per game on 52.9 percent field goal and 42.3 percent three-point shooting. Martin did not back down under the bright lights.
