The Celtics will exercise Hauser's $2.1 million option for the 2024-25 season Saturday, Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe reports. Both parties are expected to have negotiations on an extension after the window to do so opens July 9, but for the time being, Hauser will at least be back with the Celtics for the 2024-25 season. The 26-year-old has seen his role grow with the club in each of the three years he has been on the team. He was a key rotational piece on this season's championship-winning squad, averaging 9.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 triples and 0.5 steals across 22.0 minutes in 79 games.

Sam Hauser Latest News
Option picked up
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Boston_Celtics.svg_.png?w=135)
The Celtics will exercise Hauser's $2.1 million option for the 2024-25 season Saturday, Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe reports. Both parties are expected to have negotiations on an extension after the window to do so opens July 9, but for the time being, Hauser will at least be back with the Celtics for the 2024-25 season. The 26-year-old has seen his role grow with the club in each of the three years he has been on the team. He was a key rotational piece on this season's championship-winning squad, averaging 9.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 triples and 0.5 steals across 22.0 minutes in 79 games.
Scores eight points in Game 5 win
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Boston_Celtics.svg_.png?w=135)
Hauser delivered eight points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 17 minutes in Monday's 106-88 Game 5 win over the Mavericks. While Hauser is known as a three-point sniper, he provided Boston with plenty of hard-nosed defense throughout its championship run. Dallas periodically hunted Hauser during the Finals, only to learn the reserve forward was up for the challenge. Hauser averaged 8.2 points, 3.0 boards and 2.2 triples over 15 minutes per contest in the Finals. This offseason, expect Boston to exercise its club option to retain Hauser. The Wisconsin product could again be a key contributor in the quest for Banner 19.
Scores 14 points in Game 4 loss
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Boston_Celtics.svg_.png?w=135)
Hauser provided 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt) and four rebounds across 20 minutes during Friday's 122-84 loss to the Mavericks in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. The fact that Hauser was among the Celtics' scoring leaders in a potential title-clinching game of the NBA Finals tells you all you need to know about Boston's offense in this loss. Boston was atrocious on offense and couldn't get things going throughout the contest, but Hauser at least provided a spark with his three-point shooting. Hauser is not expected to play a prominent role for Boston offensively in the rest of the series.
Drains three threes in Game 3 win
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Boston_Celtics.svg_.png?w=135)
Hauser ended Wednesday's 106-99 victory over the Mavericks in Game 3 of the NBA Finals with nine points (3-4 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes. Hauser led the Celtics with a plus-16 plus-minus ratio during the Game 3 win. In addition to hitting three of four attempts from beyond the arc, Hauser also delivered excellent defense. The reserve forward stopped Mavericks star Luka Doncic on a few drives. Hauser's 14 minutes of run led Boston's bench. The three-point sniper has now hit 1.2 triples per game throughout the playoffs. The Celtics will try to sweep the Finals on Friday in Dallas.
Limited in Game 3 win
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Boston_Celtics.svg_.png?w=135)
Hauser produced six points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt) in 10 minutes during Saturday's 106-93 win over the Cavaliers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Hauser connected on a pair of three-pointers, the highlight of what was another passive performance. Boston is generally running with a shallow rotation, with Payton Pritchard the only depth piece playing meaningful minutes. Having wrestled back home court advantage, Boston will be pushing for a 3-1 series lead when the two teams line up again Monday.
Won't start Sunday
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Boston_Celtics.svg_.png?w=135)
Hauser won't start Game 1 of the opening-round series against the Heat on Sunday. With Boston resting its usual starters, Hauser drew back-to-back starts to end the regular season and scored 32 points (12-37 FG) over those two contests. The sharpshooter is expected to garner a 15-to-20-minute role during the postseason.
Will start Friday
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Boston_Celtics.svg_.png?w=135)
Hauser will start Friday's game against the Hornets, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports. Boston's usual starters are resting, so Hauser will draw his 12th start of the season. Over his previous 11 starts, Hauser averaged 11.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 32.1 minutes per game.
Retreats to bench
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Boston_Celtics.svg_.png?w=135)
Hauser isn't starting Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers. Hauser drew a spot start Friday but will return to the bench with Jaylen Brown back in action. Hauser made just one of his 18 field-goal attempts in the start, including 1-for-13 shooting from deep. He'll look to shake off the rough outing against Portland.
Flops in starting role
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Boston_Celtics.svg_.png?w=135)
Hauser amassed three points (1-18 FG, 1-13 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Friday's 101-100 win over the Kings. Hauser certainly wasn't shy as a shooter in the win, going 1-of-18 from the floor. He moved into the starting lineup after Jaylen Brown was ruled out with a hand injury. While it was a great opportunity for Hauser, he likely destroyed the field-goal percentage category for anyone who happened to stream him. While he will almost definitely be better than this on most nights, Hauser is not someone managers need to be holding onto.
