Alijah Martin Sidelined with Knee Injury Ahead of Raptors' 2026-27 Opener
newsroom · 15 min agoAlijah Martin is day-to-day with a knee injury as the Toronto Raptors get set for the 2026-27 season. The guard sat out Sunday's Summer League game against the Nuggets, and his return is estimated for October 1, 2026. The regular-season opener has not happened yet, so all the numbers on Martin right now come from last season.
The Injury
Alijah Martin is banged up. He is listed day-to-day with a knee and leg issue, and the Raptors' estimated return date for him is October 1, 2026. Zulfi Sheikh of Sportsnet reported that Martin would not play in Sunday's Summer League game against the Nuggets because of the knee. The injury log shows one entry so far, dated September 6, 2026, tagged day-to-day for the knee and leg. With no other update on file, the timeline points to Martin working his way back in time for the start of the regular season, but Toronto has not put out anything beyond the day-to-day tag.
Who Is Alijah Martin
Martin is a 24-year-old guard who came out of Florida. He stands 6-2 and weighs 210 pounds, and he wears No. 55 for Toronto. He is entering his second season in the league after one year of NBA experience. Martin was already on the Raptors last season, so this is not a new addition to the roster — it is a returning piece working through a knee issue as camp and Summer League play out ahead of 2026-27. There is nothing in his file about a trade or a change of team; last season's stats already have him logged with Toronto.
Last Season By The Numbers
In 2025-26, Martin played 23 games for Toronto, averaging 6.3 minutes a night. His scoring numbers were modest: 2.2 points, 0.9 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.3 steals, 0.2 blocks and 0.3 turnovers per game. He shot 32.0 percent from the field, 19.0 percent from three, and 78.9 percent from the foul line, for a true shooting mark of 43.7 percent. His usage rate sat at 18.5 percent in limited minutes, and his plus-minus was -0.6. Those are the only game numbers on record for Martin — nothing from the 2026-27 season is in yet since it has not started.
Where Things Stand Heading Into 2026-27
The 2026-27 season is the current one for Martin and the Raptors, but no regular-season results are logged yet — the only competitive note on file is Sunday's Summer League game, which Martin missed. There are no recent games or trade rumors tied to his name right now. The next real marker for him is the return timeline the team has already put out: an estimated return of October 1, 2026. Until that date passes, the knee is the only story on Martin, and last season's 23-game, 6.3-minutes-per-game workload is the most recent form guide available on how he has played in the NBA.
