Martin’s (6’6”, 215) contract was previously converted to a two-way deal on Oct. 19, 2024, after he originally joined Brooklyn on Sept. 20, 2024.

In six games as a starter, Martin has averaged 10.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists over 31.5 minutes per game. The Allentown, Pa., native spent last season with the Iowa Wolves of the NBA G League and saw action in 16 games with the Atlanta Hawks during the 2022-23 campaign. Martin was selected 51st overall in the second round of the 2022 NBA Draft by the Golden State Warriors before Atlanta acquired his draft rights. He spent two seasons at the University of Rhode Island (2018-20) before finishing his collegiate career at the University of Connecticut (2020-22), where he earned 2022 All-Big East Tournament honors as a senior.

Hayes (6’5”, 210) has appeared in and started 13 regular season games this season with the Long Island Nets, Brooklyn’s NBA G League affiliate, and averaged 21.0 points on 49.5 percent shooting from the field, 40.3 percent shooting from 3-point range and 77.3 percent shooting from the free-throw line, 5.5 rebounds, 8.3 assists (fifth in the NBA G League) and a league-leading 2.8 steals in 35.6 minutes per contest. Hayes also saw action in 15 Tip-Off Tournament games (all starts) with Long Island and recorded averages of 13.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 1.8 steals in 32.3 minutes per game. The 23-year-old previously signed with Brooklyn on Sept. 20, 2024, before being waived on Oct. 19, 2024. In 210 NBA games (145 starts) over four seasons (2020-24) with the Detroit Pistons, Hayes holds career averages of 8.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 26.1 minutes per contest.

Bogdanović was acquired via trade on July 6, 2024, from New York and did not appear in any games this season while rehabilitating a left foot injury.
