Is Sam Merrill ready to suit up for the Cleveland Cavaliers? Not quite. The sharpshooting guard will miss his 13th game in a row against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday due his hand injury.
Merrill joins Evan Mobley (calf), Max Strus (foot), and Larry Nance Jr. (calf) on the list of players all confirmed to be out against the Bulls. Despite that disappointing news, things are not all bad for the Cavaliers on the injury front with their two-way guard.
Kenny Atkinson told Danny Cunningham that Merrill has been progressing through his recovery. His on-court rehab has involved a lot of shooting drills and activities.
