Cody Martin is a versatile small forward/shooting guard who currently plays for the Charlotte Hornets. After going undrafted in 2018, Martin was selected 36th overall in the 2019 NBA draft by the Hornets. He played alongside his twin brother Caleb for three seasons at NC State before both brothers transferred to Nevada for their final college season. At Nevada, Cody Martin used his athleticism and defensive intensity to help lead the Wolf Pack to an NCAA Tournament appearance while averaging 11.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game.

Martin carved out a role early on with the Hornets as a defensive stopper who could guard multiple positions. His long arms and lateral quickness allow him to disrupt opponents' passing lanes and contest shots. While Martin does not fill up the stat sheet offensively, he picks his spots wisely and shoots efficiently from the field.

Martin underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee in the 2022-23 season and was expected to miss approximately a month of action. The Hornets have missed Martin's versatility and perimeter defense off the bench. At 26 years old, Martin still has room for offensive development, particularly with his outside shooting. The Hornets are eager for his return from knee surgery to bolster their wing rotation.

Cody Martin was born to Jenny Bennett and an unnamed father.

Cody Martin’ Mother

ody Martin's mother is Jenny Bennett. She became a mother in her teenage years and faced many challenges raising Martin and his twin brother Caleb as a single parent. Bennett worked three jobs to provide for her sons after she was kicked out of her home for having children at a young age.

As a white woman raising three mixed-race children in the South, Bennett faced many difficulties. But she persevered through these challenges to give her children the best life possible. Her sacrifices allowed Martin the opportunity to develop into an NBA player. The support of his tight-knit family, especially his devoted mother, helped pave the way for Martin's success on the court.

Cody Martin’ Father

Martin's father's name and information are not publicly available. He was absent from Martin's life growing up. Along with their older brother Raheem, Martin and his brother lived with Bennett in a run-down trailer with a dilapidated basketball hoop nearby. It was on this hoop that Martin first started playing basketball with his siblings.
