An undrafted 2021 signee, Hauser showcased the role he has carved out in Boston's perimeter-first system.

Overview

  • Hauser went 10-of-21 from three-point range without attempting a two-point shot, becoming the first NBA player to take 20 or more threes with zero twos in a game.
  • He pushed late to chase the Celtics' single-game three-point record, later saying his mindset was to get shots up and that he was glad Joe Mazzulla kept him in.
  • This season Hauser has appeared in 40 games with 11 starts, averaging 8.0 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 22.6 minutes.
  • Boston next visits the Detroit Pistons on Monday.
