Duane Rankin: UPDATED Suns-Cavs injury report: Cavs: Sam Merrill (left hip soreness) IN De'Andre Hunter (illness) OUT #Suns #Cavs
Danny Cunningham: #Cavs head coach Kenny Atkinson said that Sam Merrill is progressing through his recovery. He's been doing a lot of shooting but still has not yet gone through contact.
Sam Merrill: “I started out in Milwaukee, and I felt like that was a place where I would’ve had a chance. Then they had some tax issues come up, so they had to trade me. I went to Memphis and had a really good camp—made the team and was playing really well behind the scenes. I felt like I was on the verge of maybe getting some rotation minutes. Then I got hurt and had to get ankle surgery. So, I got cut. I went to Sacramento and had another really good camp. They ended up keeping Matthew Dellavedova over me—who I love, great dude—but Mike Brown wanted a veteran with his last spot. So, I got cut again. At that point, I was like, ‘Let’s just go overseas. I don’t know if this is going to work out.’ I played in the G League for a little bit, and then finally got the call. I had a great Summer League. Even after that, going into camp, I had a great camp again—but to start the season, I still wasn’t playing. Then we had some injuries, and I was finally able to get my opportunity. I was fortunate to make the most of it. But having an organization that believes in you, a coaching staff that believes in you—that’s everything. An organization that’s willing to look at the behind-the-scenes stuff... I talk about this all the time: the behind-the-scenes stuff really matters.”
