Caleb Martin has not yet made his debut with the Dallas Mavericks following his acquisition at the trade deadline.

However, he has recently participated in contract practices, and according to Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News, Martin appears to be nearing a return from the right hip strain that has sidelined him since January 10.

While still recovering, Martin’s involvement in practices suggests that he is progressing well and could potentially return to the court soon, providing the Mavericks with an added boost once fully healthy.

“He’s doing extremely well,” Jason Kidd said of Martin. “There are a lot of positive things around him right now. He’s trending in the right direction. Hopefully here in the next couple of days, we have some really good news.

“His rehab sessions have been going really good and he hasn’t had any setbacks. With the playing that he’s had here, hopefully he’s back sooner than later.”
