Sam Merrill Injury: Ruled out for Wednesday

Updated on October 28, 2025 at 2:50pm

Merrill is out for Wednesday's game against the Celtics with a right hip contusion.

After leaving Monday's game against the Pistons early, Merrill will need to miss at least one game due to the issue. The sharpshooter's next chance to take the floor comes Friday against the Raptors. With Darius Garland (toe) still ramping up for game action, the Cavaliers could turn to Jaylon Tyson for a spot start Wednesday.
