More on this storyline
Caleb Martin is recognized as the modern-day Boston Strangler. The 29-year-old, who tormented the Celtics as a member of the Heat, including during the 2023 Eastern Conference finals, poured in 23 points on Christmas on 8-of-11 shooting — including seven three-pointers. He would prefer to stay put, according to a league source. Another source said the feeling is mutual. The team is aware of the impact he could have during a playoff run. -via The Philadelphia Inquirer / February 2, 2025
