Notches six points Hauser produced six points (2-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and three rebounds in 15 minutes during Friday's 119-81 loss to the Knicks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Impact Hauser, who has three years left on his deal, established himself as a key role player for Boston in 2024-25. He made 71 regular-season appearances, posting averages of 8.5 points and 3.2 rebounds while shooting 41.6 percent from beyond the arc. With Jayson Tatum (Achilles) facing a lengthy rehab, Hauser could see an expanded role in 2025-26.

Impact Hauser returned from a three-game absence due to a right ankle sprain and saw a limited workload Wednesday. But with Jayson Tatum (Achilles) sidelined and Kristaps Porzingis struggling with an ongoing illness, there is a path for Hauser to earn more minutes going forward.

Cleared for Game 5 Hauser (ankle) is available for Wednesday's Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Knicks.

Impact Hauser is officially set to return from a three-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. The 27-year-old's return certainly doesn't offset the loss of Jayson Tatum (Achilles), but he does give Joe Mazzulla a productive wing option off the bench as the Celtics look to extend their season.

Probable for Wednesday Hauser (ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Knicks, Bobby Krivitsky of Forbes reports.

Impact Hauser exited Game 1 against the Knicks due to a right ankle sprain and subsequently missed the next three games. With the team facing elimination and superstar Jayson Tatum (Achilles) out, a productive return from the 27-year-old would be significant for the Celtics. Hauser is averaging just 2.7 points in 12.8 minutes per game in six appearances this postseason.

Impact Hauser is in jeopardy of missing his third consecutive contest after sustaining a sprained right ankle in Game 1 of the second round. Head coach Joe Mazzulla relayed Sunday that the sharpshooter, who was listed as doubtful ahead of Games 1 and 2, is progressing in his recovery and remains day-to-day, per Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site. However, Hauser's potential absence shouldn't cause any major waves in the club's rotation.

Impact Hauser sustained a sprained right ankle after an awkward landing in the third quarter and was deemed questionable to return. The ankle injury will be something to monitor ahead of Wednesday's Game 2 against the Knicks, though his potential absence shouldn't cause any major waves in the club's rotation.
