Hauser (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Chicago, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports. Hauser has missed two of the Celtics' last three games due to lower back spasms. Jaden Springer saw extended playing time against the Bulls on Thursday, and he could be in line for meaningful playing time off the bench if Hauser is unable to play Saturday, as well as Jordan Walsh and Drew Peterson.

Sam Hauser Latest News
Questionable to play against Bulls
Hauser (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Chicago, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports. Hauser has missed two of the Celtics' last three games due to lower back spasms. Jaden Springer saw extended playing time against the Bulls on Thursday, and he could be in line for meaningful playing time off the bench if Hauser is unable to play Saturday, as well as Jordan Walsh and Drew Peterson.
Ruled out Thursday
Hauser (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bulls, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports. Hauser has been a mainstay on the injury report due to a right adductor strain and a lingering lower back injury. With the sharpshooter sidelined, Jordan Walsh and Drew Peterson could see increased roles. Hauser's next chance to play will come Saturday against Chicago.
Iffy for Thursday
Hauser is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bulls with lower back spasms, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports. This is a new issue for Hauser after he previously overcame a minor thigh injury. If Hauser is unable to give it a go, the Celtics will likely use a committee approach to soak up his minutes.
Will play Sunday
Hauser (thigh) is available for Sunday's game against the Wizards, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports. Hauser missed the win over the Pistons on Thursday due to a right adductor strain, and he should add depth to the bench in his return to action. However, his bench role certainly limits his upside in most formats.
Ruled out Thursday
Hauser (adductor) is out for Thursday's game versus the Pistons, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports. Hauser has been downgraded from doubtful to out Thursday due to a right adductor strain he suffered against Memphis. With Jayson Tatum (knee) and Jaden Springer (illness) out, Jordan Walsh could receive increased playing time. Hauser's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Washington.
Downgraded to doubtful
Hauser (adductor) is considered doubtful for Thursday's game against Detroit. Hauser was previously listed as questionable, but he's trending towards being unavailable after being unable to return to Saturday's loss to Memphis. Jayson Tatum (knee), Jaden Springer (illness) and Jordan Walsh (ribs) are all considered questionable for Thursday, which could compromise the back-end of Boston's depth.
Doesn't return Saturday
Hauser (groin) didn't play in the second half of Saturday's 127-121 loss to the Grizzlies. He went scoreless (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and grabbed one rebound in nine minutes off the bench. The four-year veteran left Saturday's game against the Grizzlies midway through the second quarter due to right adductor tightness, and he didn't step on the hardwood in the second half. The Celtics have several days off due to the NBA Cup quarterfinals, and his next chance to play will come against the Pistons on Thursday, Dec. 12.
Doubtful to return Saturday
Hauser is doubtful to return to Saturday's game against the Grizzlies due to right adductor tightness, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports. Hauser was taken to the locker room midway through the second quarter, and his return is uncertain. Hauser's absence shouldn't affect many fantasy outcomes, however, as the forward is a depth option off the bench for a Celtics team that's healthy in its wing rotation.
Back to bench Friday
Hauser is not in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Bucks on Friday, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports. Hauser started against the Pistons on Wednesday due to Jayson Tatum and Jrue Holiday being sidelined, and Hauser finished with a season-high 20 points along with three rebounds and one steal over 31 minutes. With Tatum and Holiday back for Friday's game, Hauser will retreat to a reserve role.
