Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Sinks five treys in loss
Merrill supplied 15 points (5-8 FG, 5-7 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 27 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 114-110 loss to the Pistons.
Returning from a one-game absence due to a minor ankle issue and moving back into the starting lineup for the first time since Dec. 27, Merrill lit it up from long range. The 29-year-old wing has drained multiple three-pointers in five of his last six games (four starts), averaging 13.7 points, 3.5 threes, 3.0 boards, 2.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 26.0 minutes per game during that span.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Entering starting five
Merrill is in the Cavaliers' starting lineup against the Pistons on Sunday.
Merrill was able to shrug off a left ankle injury to play Sunday, and he'll make his 12th start of the season due to the absence of Jarrett Allen (illness). As a starter this season, Merrill is averaging 15.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 3.7 threes and 0.8 steals over 26.0 minutes per game.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Available to play
Merrill (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Pistons, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.
Merrill will return from a one-game absence, and he could see a slight uptick in minutes with Jarrett Allen (illness) unavailable. On the season, Merrill is averaging 13.2 points, 2.5 assists and 3.3 triples per contest.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Trending toward playing Sunday
Merrill (ankle) is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pistons but is trending toward being available, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Merrill missed Friday's win over the Nuggets due to a left ankle sprain, but the sixth-year pro is on the right track to return for Sunday's game. His return would mean less minutes to go around for Lonzo Ball, Craig Porter and De'Andre Hunter.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Iffy for Sunday
Merrill (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pistons.
Merrill is considered day-to-day after missing Friday's game against the Nuggets. If Merrill is unable to give it a go, there will be more minutes available for guys like Jaylon Tyson and Craig Porter.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Won't go Friday
Merrill (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Ethan Sands of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Merrill won't suit up Friday due to a sprained left ankle, and his next opportunity to play will come Sunday against the Pistons. With the sharpshooter sidelined, Jaylon Tyson and Craig Porter are candidates for increased playing time.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Questionable with ankle sprain
Merrill is questionable for Friday's game against Denver with a left ankle sprain.
This is a new issue for Merrill, who recently overcame a bout of left hip soreness. If the sharpshooter is unable to suit up, Jaylon Tyson would become an even more attractive fantasy option Friday.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Good to go against Suns
Merrill (hip) is available for Wednesday's game against the Suns.
As expected, the sharpshooter is shedding a probable designation due to left hip soreness. Across his most recent five appearances, Merrill has averaged 11.0 points, 3.4 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 2.4 three-pointers in 26.4 minutes per game.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Probable for Wednesday
Merrill is probable for Wednesday's game against the Suns due to left hip soreness.
Merrill is expected to play through the issue Wednesday, and the Cavaliers are likely to confirm his status closer to tipoff. The sharpshooter has averaged 11.0 points, 3.4 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 2.4 three-pointers in 26.4 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Heads to locker room
Merrill exited to the locker room during the first quarter of Monday's game against the Spurs with an apparent mouth injury, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Merrill appeared to be bleeding from his mouth after being hit in the face. He'll be taken to the locker room for further evaluation.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Available to return
Merrill (mouth) has been cleared to return to Monday's game against San Antonio, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Merrill was officially diagnosed with a lip laceration, but the issue won't keep him from Monday's action. He should be fully available the rest of the way.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Back to bench role
Merrill is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Spurs.
Merrill will move to the bench for this one, as Evan Mobley returns to his regular starter role. Merrill is averaging 10.4 points per game when coming off the bench this season, as opposed to 15.0 when playing in the first unit.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Well-rounded effort Tuesday
Merrill accumulated 22 points (7-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 141-118 victory over the Pelicans.
Merrill entered the Cavaliers' starting lineup Tuesday for the first time since Nov. 17, and he played particularly well in the second quarter with 11 points, nine of which came from beyond the arc. The sixth-year guard has played in each of Cleveland's last two games after missing the 14 prior contests due to a hand injury, and Merrill figures to remain in the Cavaliers' starting lineup for as long as Max Strus (foot) is sidelined.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Starting Tuesday
Merrill will start against the Pelicans on Tuesday, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.
Merrill will return to the starting lineup in just his second appearance following a 14-game absence due to a sprained hand. As a result, Jaylon Tyson will come off the bench. Merrill logged 26 minutes in Monday's win over the Hornets, during which he posted four points (2-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound, five assists and one steal over 26 minutes.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Logs 26 minutes in return
Merrill (hand) racked up four points (2-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound, five assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Monday's 139-132 win over the Hornets.
Merrill returned from a 14-game absence as a result of a hand injury, leading the bench with 26 minutes. While his production was far from outstanding, he does provide the Cavaliers with a relatively consistent perimeter threat. With that said, his limitations on the defensive end and the fact that he is likely to continue coming off the bench make him nothing more than a streaming candidate in standard leagues.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Available against Hornets
Merrill (hand) is available for Monday's game against the Hornets, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.
Merrill will make his first appearance since Nov. 17 after sitting out for over a month with a hand sprain. It's fair to expect some kind of minutes restriction for the sharpshooter in his return, considering the lengthy absence. Merrill has averaged 13.9 points, 2.3 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 3.7 three-pointers per contest in 12 regular-season games thus far, during which he has shot 44.4 percent from downtown.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Expected to return Monday
Merrill (hand) is probable for Monday's game against the Hornets.
This is a big development for the Cavaliers, as Merrill has been sidelined since Nov. 17. In Merrill's absence, Jaylon Tyson has emerged as a reliable contributor, but it's likely that the team utilizes both players going forward.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Still out with hand sprain
Merrill is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to a right hand sprain.
The Cavaliers haven't offered any details about a timeline for a return for Merrill, who hasn't been available since the Nov. 17 win over the Bucks. Until that happens, the sharpshooter can be considered week-to-week. Merrill's absence has played a big part in the emergence of Jaylon Tyson, who has averaged 15.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 30.6 minutes per contest over his last 11 games.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Ruled out for Sunday
Merrill (hand) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hornets.
Merrill will miss his 12th consecutive contest due to a sprained right hand. The Cavaliers haven't indicated how close Merrill is to playing again, but with two full days off coming after Sunday's contest, the shooting guard may have a chance at returning to action Wednesday in Chicago.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Remaining out vs. Wizards
Merrill (hand) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Washington.
Merrill is in line for his 11th straight absence while recovering from a sprained right hand. His next opportunity for a return will arrive Sunday against the Hornets.
