Sam Merrill is set to start for the Cleveland Cavaliers against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday, joining Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen in the lineup. This adjustment follows Merrill’s 31-minute performance in the previous game, as he steps in for Craig Porter Jr., who moves to a bench role after logging only 15 minutes in his last outing. Merrill is expected to maintain a consistent role, contributing alongside the starters.
