Caleb Martin

A quick, observatory glance at their depth chart on October 23, 2024, for some, may have been all it took to confirm the type of hustle and fearlessness the Philadelphia 76ers planned to incorporate throughout the 2024-25 season. A much-respected provider of said traits during a Finals run just two years prior, Caleb Martin showcases similar workman-like qualities for the Philadelphia 76ers, overwhelming Giannis Antetokounmpo for an ambitious, “grown man rebound.” Unfinished, Martin — fittingly with Philadelphia’s superstar running back in attendance — pays tribute through a heads-up, football-like handoff to a cutting teammate, compiling a board and an assist in swift succession. The Milwaukee Bucks’ offense proved too hot to handle on Opening Night, but Martin’s performance was nonetheless serviceable, as he recorded 12 points (on 5-of-10 shooting), nine rebounds, three assists, and a block.
