Caleb Martin walked into the 76ers’ locker room in street clothes around 6:10 p.m. Tuesday, ready to offer individual goodbyes to each teammate sitting at their stall. Ricky Council IV jokingly pretended to cry.

Although he’s been in the league for almost six years, Caleb Martin made himself a well-known figure to NBA fans during the 2023 playoffs. He was pivotal in helping the Miami Heat reach the NBA Finals as the East’s eighth seed, taking down Boston in a seven-game Eastern Conference Finals battle.

Per multiple reports, the Mavs will receive swingman Caleb Martin from the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Quentin Grimes and a 2025 second-round pick. The move gives Dallas added perimeter depth after the deal that sent All-NBA guard Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers.
