Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Should be ready for opener
Sam Merrill (wrist) won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Bulls but is expected to be available for the regular-season opener against the Raptors next Wednesday, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.Merrill is in a similar situation to Max Strus (hip), as both players have missed the last two preseason games. However, based on recent reports, both are expected to be available for the regular-season opener on Oct. 23. Merrill has participated in on-court, non-contact, full-speed workouts, so he's trending closer to being fully available. Even when that happens, Merrill shouldn't have a lot of fantasy upside since he'll be nothing more than a depth option on the Cleveland Cavaliers' bench.
