Milwaukee Bucks to sign Kenyon Martin for rest of season

The Milwaukee Bucks will sign former All-Star power forward Kenyon Martin to a rest-of-the-season contract this week, according to league sources.

Martin, who completes his second 10-day deal with the Bucks on Wednesday, has lent a welcome veteran touch to a young locker room since reuniting with first-year Milwaukee coach Jason Kidd, with whom he played in New Jersey.

Martin, 37, has played sparingly in eight games since joining the Bucks, but he adds a voice of experience as well as frontcourt know-how to Milwaukee's young roster.
