Sam Merrill returned to his home state as Mr. Utah — and showed he’s more than just a shooter
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Sam Merrill came home to Utah on Monday. Not as a curious fan watching from the stands like he did at Donovan Mitchell’s rookie debut nine years ago, but as Mitchell’s teammate. A starter for this iteration of the Cavs.
It's a homecoming for former Utah State guard and Bountiful High product Sam Merrill as the Utah Jazz host the Cleveland Cavaliers Monday night.
BOTTOM LINE: Utah plays Cleveland looking to stop its three-game home losing streak. The Jazz are 13-25 in home games. Utah is first in the Western Conference with 29.4 assists per game led by Isaiah Collier averaging 7.2.
