The Dallas Mavericks acquired forward Caleb Martin from the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday in exchange for guard Quentin Grimes and a second-round pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

The initial ESPN report of the trade came less than an hour after an introductory news conference for former Mavericks guard Luka Doncic concluded in Los Angeles. The 76ers formally announced the trade on Tuesday afternoon.

Martin's stay with the 76ers wasn't a long one after he signed a multi-year contract on July 6.

He averaged 9.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 31 games (24 starts) with the 76ers this season.

Martin, 29, averaged 8.5 points. 3.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 297 games (112 starts) over parts of six seasons with the Charlotte Hornets (2019-21), Miami Heat (2021-24) and 76ers.

Grimes, 24, averaged 10.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 47 games (12 starts) with the Mavericks this season.

He has contributed 8.9 points, 2.8 boards and 1.7 assists in 215 games (102 starts) with the New York Knicks (2021-24), Detroit Pistons (2024) and Mavericks. The Los Angeles Clippers selected him with the 25th overall pick of the league draft on July 30, 2021, and traded him the next day to the Knicks.
