The Cleveland Cavaliers are set to bring back guard Sam Merrill on a four-year, $38-million contract extension, ESPN reported Saturday.

Merrill, 29, averaged 7.2 points with 2.2 rebounds over 71 games (four starts) last season, while shooting 37.2 percent from 3-point range.

In five NBA seasons, Merrill has averaged 6.5 points with 1.9 rebounds and is shooting 38.6 percent from distance over 173 games (seven starts) for the Milwaukee Bucks (2020-21), Memphis Grizzlies (2021-22) and Cavaliers.

The deal comes after the Cavaliers acquired guard Lonzo Ball from the Chicago Bulls earlier Saturday in exchange for swingman Isaac Okoro, according to an ESPN report.
