In an unexpected turn of events, the Dallas Mavericks have secured an additional second-round pick from the Philadelphia 76ers, enhancing the trade that brought Caleb Martin to Dallas. Initially, the Mavericks traded Quentin Grimes along with a 2025 second-round pick to acquire Martin. Following a reevaluation of Martin's recent hip injury, the 76ers agreed to send a 2030 second-round pick to the Mavericks.

The Mavericks currently express no long-term concerns regarding Martin's injury, though a specific timeline for his return remains uncertain. This acquisition could bolster the Mavericks as they prepare for upcoming games, especially with Martin's average of 9.1 points and 4.4 rebounds across 31 appearances this season.
