BOSTON, MA – The Boston Celtics announced today that they have signed forward Sam Hauser to a contract
extension. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“You can count on Sam. He comes to work every single day with the right mindset and attitude,” said Brad Stevens, President of Basketball Operations. “His shooting gets most of the attention – but his feel for the game, defensive versatility, and his consistency as a teammate have allowed him to impact our team in the biggest of moments. We are excited Sam has decided to extend his contract with the Celtics.”
Hauser has appeared in 185 career games (21 starts) with the Celtics over the last three years, averaging 7.0 points and 2.8 rebounds in 17.2 minutes per game since originally signing to a two-way contract in August 2021. Hauser owns the best three-point shooting percentage in Celtics history at 42.2 percent (min. 150 3FG) while his 356 career makes ranks 15th in Celtics history. The Wisconsin native is one of only five Celtics in franchise history to register at least 400 rebounds, 270 three-pointers, and 115 assists off the bench.
During the 2023-24 season, Hauser appeared in 79 games (13 starts) and averaged career-highs across the board with 9.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 22.0 minutes per game. Hauser played in all 19 playoff games during the Celtics’ championship run and averaged 5.4 points and 2.2 rebounds while shooting 42.9 percent from the floor. Hauser scored a playoff career-high 17 points on 5-of-8 made three-pointers and recorded five rebounds in the Celtics’ 118-84 win over Miami on May 1.
Hauser knocked down a career-best 197 three-point field goals last season, becoming the first undrafted player in Celtics history to register at least 160 threes in a single season. On February 13, he scored his 1,000th career point on a catch-and-shoot three against Brooklyn, becoming the 11th Celtic to score at least 1,000 points off the bench since 2006.
The Virginia product scored a career-high 30 points on a career-best 10-of-13 made three-point field goals and grabbed six rebounds at Washington on March 17, 2024. Hauser’s 10 threes in 22:49 minutes of action is the fewest minutes played in a 10-three game in NBA history and he tied Jaylen Brown for the second-most made threes in a game in Celtics history.
