Merrill had eight points (2-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 121-111 win over Washington.
Merrill logged a season-low 20 minutes, scoring single digits for the fourth straight game. After averaging 26.5 minutes per game during the 2025-26 season, an increase in playing time this season feels unlikely at this stage. Those in standard leagues should view him as nothing more than a potential three-point streaming option.
