KJ Martin, the American professional basketball player for the Philadelphia 76ers, appears to be single in 2024, considering the fact that he hasn’t officially addressed anyone as his girlfriend.
However, Martin was seeing an unnamed girl in the past, and she betrayed him with one of the Rockets players. His father, Keyton Martin, confirmed the betrayal that KJ faced while having a chat with Gilbert Arenas.
According to senior Martin, KJ had gone to the Bahamas for a team retreat and found out his girlfriend was in his teammate’s room. The revelation soon received extensive attention, with many social media users sharing and discussing it on different platforms.

Later, the Suburban Boy claimed that JK Martin’s girlfriend messed up with no other than an American basketball guard of the Houston Rockets, Jalen Green. Meanwhile, he said,
So, KJ Martin was taking this girl serious. He keeps dating her and keeps breaking her off the bread. They all go on. A teacher goes to the Bahamas, and she’s smashing Jalen Green, whoever. You pay the trip and she’d to be a teammate’s room..

Whether or not Jalen Green acted as a villain in JK’s love life has yet to be authenticated. But it’s confirmed that the current Philadelphia 76ers star has already gone through the biggest heartbreak.
KJ Martin’s father, Keyton, said that he had already notified his son, saying ‘losing girlfriend in the NBA is easy’
Keyton Martin, KJ Martin’s father, was well aware of the possible tragedy that his 23-year-old son was going to experience since he started playing NBA basketball.
Some years ago, Keyton noticed his son talking to a girl, so he didn’t take much time to warn him. According to senior Martin, he said, “Don’t be surprised if she f—kin one of your teammates.”
At the time, KJ didn’t consider his father’s words seriously and kept seeing the girl. At last, his dad’s words proved to be true.
Well, let’s take it like KJ Martin learned his lesson and broke up with his ex-girlfriend. Since then, he has never been spotted with any girl, possibly hinting at his new love life.
It appears that the 23-year-old’s current focus is entirely on his rising career. Since his professional basketball career began in 2020, he has had several opportunities to showcase his ability to the world.
KJ initially played for the Houston Rockets for three years, from 2020 to 2023. He played Rio Grande Valley Viper and Los Angeles Clippers during his contract with the Rockets. In 2023, he signed a contract with the Philadelphia 76ers.
