Sam Merrill: Breaking News

Merrill (hamstring) is off the injury report for Game 1 on Saturday versus Toronto. The Cavaliers held Merrill out of their final two outings of the regular season, but they've cleared him for the start of the playoffs. The sharpshooter started a career-high 38 games in 2025-26, ending the regular season with averages of 12.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 3.0 three-pointers while shooting 42.1 percent from deep in 26.5 minutes per contest over 52 games.

Merrill (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Wizards. Merrill is one of nine Cavaliers players being listed as out for Sunday's regular-season finale, though he figures to return for the postseason. With the team set to be very shorthanded in the backcourt, Craig Porter, Tyrese Proctor and Max Strus should pick up the slack.

Merrill (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Atlanta. Merrill will be held out of Friday's contest due to left hamstring injury management. His final chance to suit up in the regular season will come Sunday against the Wizards. With Donovan Mitchell (ankle) also out, Keon Ellis, Craig Porter and Tyrese Proctor are candidates to see increased playing time.
