Martin sustained the injury during an appearance for the G League's Long Island Nets on Monday. One of Brooklyn's three two-way players, Martin has logged just two minutes over two appearances with the NBA club this season.

Rotowire
Martin recorded 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and an assist across 16 minutes in Tuesday's 115-106 loss to the Clippers.

Nets' Jaylen Martin: Scores 12 points in Summer League
Rotowire
Marten logged 12 points (4-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, an assist and three steals across 24 minutes of Friday's 97-95 win over the Pacers in overtime.
Martin missed the final three games of the 2023-24 regular season with a sprained left ankle, but he's overcome the injury and operated as Brooklyn's sixth man Friday. The 20-year-old inked a two-year, two-way contract with the Nets in February, and although he'd been part of the Nets' roster, he has yet to make his NBA debut.

Nets' Jaylen Martin: Dealing with ankle sprain
Rotowire
Martin has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Raptors due to a left ankle sprain, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Martin presumably sprained his ankle Sunday during the Long Island Nets' loss to the Maine Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals of the G League playoffs, as he played just three minutes off the bench. He has yet to make his NBA debut, so his absence Wednesday won't impact Brooklyn's rotation.

Nets' Jaylen Martin: Inks two-way deal with Nets
Rotowire
Martin agreed to a two-way contract with the Nets on Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
After going undrafted in June, the 20-year-old Martin had opened the season as one of the Knicks' three two-way players, but he never got the chance to make his NBA debut before being waived in December. He had continued to stick around in the New York organization as a member of the G League's Westchester Knicks, averaging 12.3 points (on 48.7 percent shooting from the field), 3.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 24.8 minutes per game over 31 appearances. The 6-foot-6 wing is projected to see most of his playing time in the G League with the Long Island Nets for the rest of the season, though he'll be eligible to appear in contests for Brooklyn at the NBA level.
