Sam Merrill (ankle) considered questionable for Sunday

Sam Merrill (ankle) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons.

Fantasy Impact

Merrill missed Cleveland's last game due to an ankle issue of some kind. It doesn't seem to be a serious issue, however, as he will already have a chance to make his return to the lineup on Sunday. His return would mean less work for Craig Porter Jr. moving forward.
