Perth captain Damian Martin is set to miss at least three NBL matches after being forced into a moon boot because of an ankle injury.
Martin hurt his left ankle in the Wildcats' win on Sunday win over Illawarra.
Scans have cleared the 33-year-old of major damage, but he has been ordered to spend a week in a moon boot to allow inflammation of the joint to settle.
It means he will miss Saturday night's home clash with Brisbane, as well as fixtures against the Hawks and Cairns.
Development player Mason Bragg, who has played 15 games for the Wildcats, will come into the team.
