Suns' Cody Martin: Without return timetable
Rotowire
Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer said Saturday that he had no update regarding when Martin (sports hernia) would be ready to play, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. "He's putting work in. I think he's making progress, but I don't have an update on his expected return time," Budenholzer said. "I think we'll cross that bridge when we get to it."
After being acquired from the Hornets on Feb. 6, Martin has yet to make his Suns debut while he continues to recover from a sports hernia, an issue that cropped up in late January. A target date for Martin's return should emerge once he's taking part in full-contact practices, but at this stage of his recovery, he remains limited to light pregame work. Martin's absence looks as though it will stretch into March.

Suns' Cody Martin: Likely out through All-Star break
Rotowire
Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer suggested Monday that Martin (sports hernia) likely won't be available to play until after the All-Star break, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Martin had missed seven consecutive games while recovering from a sports hernia before the Hornets traded him to the Suns on Thursday. The 29-year-old wing has reported to the Suns but doesn't appear to have resumed practicing yet, so the team will likely hold him out Tuesday versus the Grizzlies and Wednesday in Houston to give him some more time to heal up from the sports hernia. Martin had averaged 24.8 minutes per game over his 39 appearances for Charlotte, but he'll likely to struggle to reach that level of playing time on a playoff-contending Suns squad.

Hornets' Cody Martin: Leaves early Friday
Rotowire
Martin exited with 7:11 remaining in the first quarter of Friday's game and did not return due to an apparent injury, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports. He finished with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over five minutes.
Martin was deemed doubtful to return to Friday's game shortly after checking out of the contest and being replaced by Josh Okogie midway through the first quarter. Prior to the game, Martin was listed on the Hornets' injury report with left groin tightness, so that could be the injury that forced his early exit. Whatever the case, Martin's availability for the second leg of a back-to-back set Saturday against the Pelicans is now in jeopardy.
