Martin will not play Friday against the Thunder due to illness, Jerry Zgoda of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports.

Analysis:

In Martin's absence, the Wolves will likely turn to Zach LaVine for increased minutes off the bench, and Shabazz Muhammad could see a mild increase in playing time should interim coach Sam Mitchell opt to employ a larger lineup. Martin, who has struggled of late, is coming off of a 22-point performance in Wednesday's loss to the Rockets.
