Caleb Martin had his biggest opportunity for playing time during the 2021-2022 NBA season — his third in the league — and capitalized on the chance with his best campaign to date. Now, the 26-year-old is reportedly both cashing in and staying put in South Beach.

Martin — whose twin brother Cody has spent his first three seasons with the Charlotte Hornets — played his first two years in Charlotte before signing with Miami last fall. The Heat forward averaged career highs in points (9.2,) rebounds (3.8,) steals (1.0) and minutes per game (22.9) this past season while playing in a career-high 60 contests and earning the most starts of his career as well with 12.

He also shot a career-best 50.7% from the field and was 41.3% from three-point range and 76.3% from the free throw line.
