Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Questionable to play against Jazz
Sam Merrill (quadricep) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Utah.Merrill sustained a left quad contusion in Saturday's 126-99 win over the 76ers and was unable to return. The Cleveland Cavaliers will presumably reassess Merrill's condition during their morning shootaround Monday before providing updates on his status leading up to the 7 p.m. ET tipoff. His potential absence Monday could help slightly raise the minutes floors of Caris LeVert, Ty Jerome, Georges Niang and Dean Wade.

Sam 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.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Paltry numbers in starting role
Sam Merrill (ankle) recorded six points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt), one assist, one rebound and one block across 19 minutes Tuesday in the Cleveland Cavaliers' 120-117 loss to the Celtics.The Cavaliers were without three rotation regulars Tuesday in Caris LeVert (knee), Dean Wade (ankle) and Isaac Okoro (ankle), paving the way for Merrill to make his first start of the season. Merrill -- who had missed the Cavaliers' previous three games with left ankle inflammation -- didn't notice a major spike in playing time as a result of his appointment to the top unit, and he sported the lowest usage rate (7.0 percent) of the team's starters. The Cavaliers could move Merrill back to the bench for Wednesday's matchup with the Pelicans if any of the three aforementioned injured players are able to return.
