Martin remains a non-factor: Clippers forward Kenyon Martin came off the bench and played solid minutes yet again on Wednesday, however he continues to struggle to make an impact, as the veteran shot just 1 of 5 in 20 minutes as the Clippers lost the Thunder, 114-91. He finished the game with just four rebounds and two assists. (Updated 03/22/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Martin was a mid-season acquisition for the Clippers, however he has not had a major impact thus far. He is shooting just 43.8 percent from the floor on the year with 5.5 points and 4.0 rebounds in 22 games. Martins days of being a useful Fantasy option are long gone, so continue to consider him just a low-end reserve. (Updated 03/22/2012).

05/13/2012 16:11 Hobbled Clippers hold off Grizzlies in Game 7, advance to Western semis
Kenyon Martin scored seven of his 11 points in the fourth quarter, and the Los Angeles Clippers advanced to the Western Conference semifinals with an 82-72 win Sunday over the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 7.
The good news regarding Martin entering the 2011-12 season is that he’s expected to be 100 percent healthy after playing in just 48 games last year due to his recovery from knee surgery. The bad news is that he will be playing in China. Martin signed a big-money deal to play in the Chinese Basketball Association this season, his contract including stipulations that would not allow him to leave once the NBA lockout was resolved. He should not be targeted in any Fantasy leagues this year. (Updated 9/21/11)
