Marc Stein of ESPN.com broke the news first.
Sources told ESPN.com that the Bucks have committed to add Martin to their roster this week, perhaps as early as Thursday, after letting a player go to open up a spot.

Players can sign two 10-day contracts before a team must commit to either sign them for the rest of the season or let them go.

The former No. 1 overall pick in the 2000 NBA draft has averaged 12.5 points and 6.9 rebounds in 14 seasons. He auditioned for the Bucks last week and is expected to help them try to fill the frontcourt void left by the ongoing absence of center Larry Sanders, who has returned to the team this week but says he is working on his “psyche and my physical health” after unspecified personal issues recently.
The 6-foot-9 Martin, who is 37 years old, last played for the New York Knicks in 2013-14, averaging 4.3 points and 4.2 rebounds per game in 32 appearances. Kidd and Martin last played together on the 2012-13 Knicks.
