Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Drops nine points Wednesday
Merrill closed with nine points (3-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 17 minutes during Wednesday's 129-96 loss to the Heat.
Merrill scored nine points for the second time in the past three games, taking advantage of the fact that the Cavaliers have been dealing with multiple injuries. As soon as the team is moderately healthy, Merrill could very well find himself out of the rotation again. Simply put, there is nothing to see here from a fantasy perspective.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Prolific from outside
Merrill recorded 27 points (9-13 FG, 8-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 21 minutes during Monday's 100-77 Summer League win over the Grizzlies.
Merrill got hot from deep and led the Cavaliers in scoring during Monday's win. The 27-year-old guard made just five appearances for Cleveland last season but should continue to feature during Summer League.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Posts career-high 17 points
Merrill accumulated 17 points (6-12 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and three steals across 26 minutes during Sunday's 106-95 loss to the Hornets.
With the Cavaliers locked into the No. 4 seed, Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell didn't play. That opened the door for Merrill, who topped double digits for the first time in two seasons. The Utah State product had only played in four games this season, but he led Cleveland in points due largely to three made triples. Merrill will likely return to obscurity as the Cavaliers take on the Knicks in the first round of the playoffs.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Drains six treys Friday
Merrill had 27 points (9-15 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block across 41 minutes in Friday's win over Motor City.
Merrill was excellent when the Charge needed him the most, and he was one of three starters that reached the 25-point mark in his regular-season finale. He ends the regular season with averages of 18.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game across 22 appearances.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Scores 20 points Friday
Merrill delivered 20 points (5-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals across 39 minutes in Friday's win over Long Island.
Merrill has been a steady contributor for the Charge this season and continues to play a significant role on offense every time he steps on the court. Merril should be a consistent double-digit scorer as Cleveland continues to make a late playoff push.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Inks multi-year deal with Cleveland
The Cavaliers are expected to sign Merrill to a multi-year contract Tuesday, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Merrill's 10-day contract expired Monday, and he made just one four-minute appearance across five games during his initial stint with the team. Despite his limited playing time, Merrill still earned a sizable promotion, and while the parameters of the deal haven't been disclosed, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com expects the Utah State product's contract to be similar to the three-year deals Lamar Stevens and Dean Wade received from Cleveland over the last two years.

Sam Merrill: Hits open market
Merrill became a free agent Monday after his 10-day contract with the Cavaliers expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Merrill is eligible to re-sign with Cleveland on a second 10-day deal, but it's unclear if he'll be retained after he made one four-minute appearance across the team's five games during his initial week-and-a-half-long stint with the team. If the Cavaliers choose not to bring him back on another 10-day pact, Merrill will likely rejoin the team's G League affiliate, the Cleveland Charge.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Joining Cleveland
The Cavaliers are planning to sign Merrill to a 10-day contract Wednesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Merrill was the first overall pick in the 2022 G League Draft and has spent the 2022-23 season with the Cleveland Charge. He will likely compete for a depth spot on the NBA club's roster but is unlikely to factor in significantly to their rotation.

Sam Merrill: Delivers 22 points in win
Merrill recorded 22 points (8-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block across 32 minutes in Friday's win over Lakeland.
The first overall pick of the 2022 G League Draft had another strong showing, and as has been the case all season long, he was locked in from deep. Merrill was one of two players who reached the 20-point mark in this dominant win for the Charge.

Sam Merrill: Scores team-high 32 points
Merrill racked up 32 points (10-17 FG, 10-14 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 36 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Swarm.
Merrill was impressive as a scorer and left his mark from beyond the arc, missing just four of his 14 attempts en route to one of his biggest scoring exploits of the season. The former Utah State standout averages 17.5 points per game while shooting 45.1 percent from three-point range in 15 outings (all starts) this season.

Merrill notched 14 points (5-12 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and three steals across 29 minutes in Wednesday's loss to South Bay.
Merrill led all starters in minutes and points scored, but overall, it was a subpar performance from a Charge team that looked outmatched from start to finish. Merrill is averaging 16.4 points per game while shooting 41.7 percent from three this season.

Sam Merrill: Shooting woes appear again
Merrill delivered 10 points (2-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, four assists and a steal across 29 minutes in Saturday's loss to Maine.
Merrill had another rough shooting performance, but at least he scored in double digits in this one. He's averaging 16.3 points per game while shooting 40.4 percent from deep, but it's worth noting his last couple of games have been underwhelming, to say the least.

Sam Merrill: Struggles from field Friday
Merrill had three points (1-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), a rebound, three assists and a block across 21 minutes in Friday's loss to Maine.
Merrill has had some very good games for the Charge this season, but this one won't fall into that category. Still, the first overall pick of the 2022 NBA G League Draft has established himself as a reliable scoring weapon for the Charge, and he is still putting up a respectable 16.9 points per game this season while shooting 41.7 percent from three-point range.

Sam Merrill: Goes for 30 points
Merrill delivered 30 points (11-17 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, three assists and three steals across 40 minutes in Wednesday's win over Greensboro.
Merrill continues to make an impact on offense for the Charge and has been emerging as one of the team's top scoring threats with his impressive run of play in recent games. Merrill is averaging 19.7 points per game through seven regular-season contests.
