Sam Merrill Latest News
Fails to score in 11 minutes
Merrill notched zero points (0-1 FG) across 11 minutes during Saturday's 106-93 loss to the Celtics in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Merrill missed his only shot attempt, failing to have an impact once again. Although he did have a couple of bright spots throughout the season, Merrill has been a non-factor in the playoffs.
Handles light role in series opener
Merrill (neck) was held scoreless (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) with two rebounds and one assist in four minutes Saturday in the Cavaliers' 97-83 win over the Magic in Game 1 of the first-round playoff series. Merrill had missed the Cavaliers' final three games of the regular season with a neck strain, but he was back in action for the playoff opener. The fourth-year wing was barely able to hold down a spot in head coach J.B. Bickerstaff's rotation, however, as Merrill played just four minutes in the second quarter and didn't check into the contest at any point in the second half.
No restrictions for Game 1
Merrill (neck) is not expected to face any minute restrictions in Game 1 of the team's series versus the Magic, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports. Merrill sat out the final three games of the regular season due to a neck strain. Barring any setbacks, he should be available for his usual workload. The 27-year-old averaged 17.5 minutes per game during the regular season.
Set to return for Game 1
Merrill (illness) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's Game 1 against the Magic. Merrill sat out the final three games of the regular season due to a neck strain, but he'll be able to suit up to begin the playoffs. The 27-year-old averaged 8.0 points and 2.0 rebounds in 17.5 minutes per game during the regular season.
Participates in practice
Merrill (neck) went through Wednesday's practice without issue, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Merrill missed the final three games of the regular season due to a neck strain. However, Merrill's participation in practice is a good sign of his availability for Saturday's Game 1 against the Magic.
Won't play Sunday
Merrill (neck) is out for Sunday's game versus the Hornets. Merrill will miss his third straight contest Sunday due to a neck strain. His next chance to suit up will come in Cleveland's first-round matchup in the playoffs.
Officially out
Merrill (neck) won't play Friday against the Pacers, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports. Merrill was added to the injury report as doubtful, and this latest update confirms that he'll remain sidelined. He'll be considered day-to-day leading up to Sunday's regular-season finale against the Hornets.
Doubtful for Friday
Merrill (neck) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Pacers. Merrill suffered a neck strain Sunday against the Clippers and will likely be unavailable for a second consecutive game Friday. Assuming he's sidelined, his final chance to return during the regular season will be against Charlotte on Sunday.
Won't play Wednesday
Merrill (neck) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports. Merrill has been downgraded from doubtful to out Wednesday after suffering a neck strain while attempting to take a charge versus the Clippers. His next chance to play is Friday's matchup with Indiana.
