Sam Merrill
Cavaliers
Injury
Sam Merrill will be sidelined for the Cavaliers’ rematch against the Hawks due to a hamstring injury. After contributing with two three-pointers in Wednesday’s victory, Merrill’s absence opens the door for Keon Ellis and Max Strus to see increased minutes. Coach J.B. Bickerstaff will likely rely on their performances to fill Merrill’s void in the upcoming contest.
