Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Remaining out vs. LAC
Merrill (hand) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Clippers.
Merrill will miss his third consecutive contest due to a sprained right hand, and his next opportunity to play will come Monday against the Raptors. With the sharpshooter remaining sidelined, Jaylon Tyson and Tyrese Proctor are candidates for an uptick in minutes.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Ruled out vs. Pacers
Merrill (hand) is out for Friday's game against the Pacers.
A sprained right hand is costing Merrill a second straight contest. Sunday's showdown with the Clippers marks the sharpshooter's next chance to suit up. Jaylon Tyson (head) could draw the start if he clears concussion protocol, while Craig Porter should be able to play meaningful minutes off the bench.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Won't play Wednesday
Merrill (hand) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Houston, Ethan Sands of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Merrill was previously listed as questionable, though he'll end up missing Wednesday's contest. His absence is expected to open up more opportunities for Lonzo Ball, Tyrese Proctor and Craig Porter. Merrill had started four straight games before Wednesday. His next chance to play will come Friday against the Pacers.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Questionable with hand sprain
Merrill (hand) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
A sprained right hand is jeopardizing Merrill's chances of suiting up Wednesday. The sharpshooter has started four consecutive games for the Cavaliers, so Dean Wade and De'Andre Hunter would likely be needed to soak up some extra minutes if Merrill is ultimately unable to play against Houston.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Catches fire from downtown
Merrill closed Monday's 118-106 win over Milwaukee with 20 points (7-10 FG, 6-9 3Pt), five rebounds and one block in 28 minutes.
Merrill's night was briefly interrupted by a hand injury suffered on one of the first possessions of the game, but he made a quick trip to the locker room before starting the second quarter. Milwaukee was unable to slow him down, as Merrill tied his season high in made triples while also setting a season best in rebounds. The Vanderbilt product has seen a noticeable uptick in opportunity with Darius Garland sidelined due to a toe injury, now averaging 12.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 3.0 made threes in four consecutive starts.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Returns vs. Milwaukee
Merrill (hand) started the second quarter of Monday's game against the Bucks, per the broadcast.
Merrill headed back to the locker room after checking out of Monday's contest with 5:50 remaining in the opening quarter. However, he quickly returned to the bench before starting the second quarter and should be good to go for the remainder of the game.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Exits to locker room Monday
Merrill exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent right hand injury in the first quarter of Monday's game against the Bucks, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.
Merrill appeared to hurt his hand early in the contest, though he stayed in the game before eventually heading back to the locker room with 5:50 remaining in the opening quarter. If the sharpshooter is unable to return, Craig Porter and Tyrese Proctor are candidates for increased minutes the rest of the way.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Serviceable performance Saturday
Merrill logged 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 27 minutes during Saturday's 108-100 win over the Grizzlies.
Merrill remained in the starting lineup for a third consecutive game, scoring double digits for the third time in the past four games. Even though Darius Garland continues to miss time due to a toe injury, Merrill has been unable to make the most of a favorable situation. At best, he should be viewed as a streaming option for anyone needing points and threes.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Starting vs. Miami
Merrill will start Wednesday's game against the Heat.
With Donovan Mitchell (rest) sidelined, Merrill will get the starting nod at shooting guard. Over four starts this season, the sharpshooter has averaged 17.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists while shooting 51.4 percent from three-point range in 25.5 minutes per contest.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Drills four triples in loss
Merrill tallied 12 points (4-16 FG, 4-16 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists over 28 minutes during Monday's 140-138 overtime loss to Miami.
Merrill struggled through most of the game while missing his first seven shot attempts, but he caught fire during the fourth quarter and hit back-to-back-to-back-to-back triples to tie up the game for Cleveland. He'll be in store for more minutes if Darius Garland (toe) needs to miss time, so give him a look if you need some points and triples.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Nails four triples in return
Merrill (hip) compiled 14 points (4-6 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) in 27 minutes off the bench Wednesday in the Cavaliers' 132-121 win over the 76ers.
Though Darius Garland's (toe) season debut was the major storyline for Cleveland, Merrill made a return of his own from a three-game absence, and his bench-leading scoring total helped power the Cavaliers to victory. Merrill should be a key piece of the rotation moving forward, but he'll likely see his playing time take at least a slight hit once Cleveland is back to full strength. In addition to the Cavaliers playing without De'Andre Hunter (illness) and Max Strus (foot), Dean Wade played just 38 seconds before exiting Wednesday's game with an eye injury.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Available Wednesday
Merrill (hip) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.
After missing the last three games due to a hip issue, Merrill is ready to get back on the floor. In four games played this season, he is averaging 17.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game while shooting 52.5 percent from the field and 51.4 percent from beyond the arc.

Merrill (hip) is questionable to play in Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Questionable for Sunday
Merrill (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Evan Dammarell of DownEuclid.com reports.
Merrill is in jeopardy of missing his third consecutive game due to a right hip contusion, and he's likely to be a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's tipoff at 6:00 p.m. ET. If the sharpshooter is ultimately ruled out, Jaylon Tyson and Craig Porter are candidates for increased playing time.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Out with hip contusion
Merrill is out for Friday's game against the Raptors with a right hip contusion.
After exiting Monday's game against the Pistons early, Merrill will need to miss a second contest in a row due to the injury. The sharpshooter's next chance to take the court comes Sunday against the Hawks. With Darius Garland (toe) still not ready for his season debut, the Cavaliers could turn to Jaylon Tyson for another spot start after he joined the first unit Wednesday against Boston.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Won't return Monday
Merrill won't return to Monday's game against the Pistons due to a right hip contusion, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.
Merrill exited to the locker room in the third quarter and will finish the game with 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two steals, one rebound and one assist in 18 minutes. With the sharpshooter sidelined, Jaylon Tyson and Craig Porter are candidates for increased minutes the rest of the way. Merrill's status will be worth monitoring ahead of Wednesday's game against Boston.
