Martin twins traded
Caleb and Cody Martin have new homes in the NBA.
At the trade deadline, Philadelphia sent Caleb to Dallas in exchange for Quentin Grimes. In the offseason, Caleb turned down an offer to stay with Miami to sign with Philly. He averaged 9.1 points and 4.4 rebounds in 31 games for the 76ers, although he’s been out since Jan. 10 with a hip sprain.
Phoenix traded Jusuf Nurkic and a 2026 first-round pick to Charlotte for Cody Martin, Vasilije Micic and a 2026 second-round pick. Cody had spent all six of his years in the league with the Hornets, who drafted him with the No. 36 pick in 2019. He averaged 7.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 24.8 minutes for the Hornets this season.
JV boys split; Horton has 23 in win
Davie hit a brick wall that’s known as West Forsyth’s JV boys basketball team on Feb. 4.
The visiting Titans carved out leads of 32-17 at halftime and 56-30 in the third on the way to a 75-46 decision that upped their record to 19-0.
It was the second loss in a row for the War Eagles, who got nine points from Justin Haggler and seven apiece from Cam Knox and Aiden Horton.
Only three teams have stayed within 14 points of West. Tabor lost 75-72, Reagan lost 58-50 and Davie dropped the first meeting 65-55.
Three days later, Horton was unstoppable as Davie punished visiting Parkland 62-27.
Horton easily outscored Parkland by himself in the first half, when it was 34-12 with the sophomore putting up 20 of his eventual 23 points. Davie stretched the margin to 50-23 in the third.
It was a season high for Horton, whose previous best was 21. Haggler had nine and Edarius Oliver six as Davie improved to 16-5 overall and 8-4 in the CPC.
