Sam Hauser Injures Right Ankle Monday
Sam Hauser (ankle) was limited to only four minutes of action in Monday's Game 1 loss to the New York Knicks. Hauser injured his right ankle in the third quarter while trying to contest an OG Anunoby three-point attempt. He exited the action with zero points, missing both of his field-goal attempts. Hauser was one of the best three-point shooters in the league during the regular season, nailing 41.6 percent of his attempts from deep. However, he has struggled to make an impact in the postseason, averaging 2.7 points and 1.3 rebounds in 13.0 minutes. Therefore, the Celtics likely won't miss Hauser much if he is forced to sit out a spell. Payton Pritchard, the 2025 NBA Sixth Man of the Year, and Al Horford will continue to lead the second unit.
