Kenyon Martin Jr. Out for 76ers with Left Foot Soreness
Kenyon Martin Jr. of the Philadelphia 76ers is out due to left foot soreness. He will miss at least two weeks, impacting the team’s depth at small forward. This injury news comes as the 76ers prepare for their next game against the Boston Celtics on December 25th.
What It Means
The absence of Kenyon Martin Jr. is a setback for the Philadelphia 76ers. He has been averaging 6.4 points per game this season, contributing valuable minutes off the bench. His shooting percentage stands at an impressive 61.6%, showing efficiency in his limited role.
With Martin Jr. sidelined, Paul George may see increased playing time at small forward, being the top-ranked player in that position on the team. Ricky Council IV could also step up to fill some minutes, though his primary position is shooting guard. The team will need to adjust their rotation to cover for Martin Jr.’s absence.
