KJ is the second Sixer with the last name Martin to be ruled out to a pending trade on Tuesday: Caleb Martin was traded to the Dallas Mavericks for fourth-year wing Quentin Grimes and the return of the Sixers' 2025 second-round pick, with the trade reportedly being agreed to early Tuesday afternoon and officially announced early in the evening.

Hours after the team officially announced a trade dealing away Caleb Martin and acquiring Quentin Grimes, the Sixers listed KJ Martin as out against the Mavs with a “trade pending” designation. PHLY Sports’ Kyle Neubeck first reported the news.
