Merrill won't return to Saturday's game against the 76ers due to a left quadriceps contusion, Evan Dammarell of DownEuclid.com reports.
Merrill was a game-time decision for this contest due to a left bruised quadriceps, so it seems he aggravated the injury in this game. His absence shouldn't affect many fantasy outcomes, though, as he's not a player who logs heavy minutes off the bench. His next chance to play will come against the Jazz on Monday.
