Caleb Martin, the former Miami Heat forward, has signed a four-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers worth over $32 million. Known for his playoff experience and versatility as a defender, Martin is expected to make a significant impact with the Sixers.

Martin has shown a particular knack for performing against tough opponents like the Boston Celtics, averaging 13.6 points in regular-season and playoff games over the past two years. He has notched four career 25-point games, with two of them coming against the Celtics in the 2023 Eastern Conference finals. Last season, Martin posted career highs in points, assists, and rebounds. His addition to the Sixers' roster adds depth and skill to an already formidable lineup.
