The Cleveland Cavaliers will face the Dallas Mavericks for the first time on Friday night, but they may be without one of their best shooters. Evan Dammarell is reporting that Sam Merrill is listed as “doubtful” for the big game because of a right ankle sprain.

Dallas Mavericks' star players P.J. Washington and Luka Doncic are out due to injuries, significantly weakening the team ahead of their crucial game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Jason Kidd emphasizes the need for the remaining players to step up.
