Sam Hauser Heads Into 2026-27 Off a Career-Best Shooting Season for Boston
newsroom · 44 min agoSam Hauser is back with the Celtics for 2026-27, coming off a 2025-26 season where he played all 78 games and shot 39.3 percent from three. He is not on the injury report as the new season approaches.
Where Hauser Stands
Sam Hauser enters the 2026-27 season with the Boston Celtics, wearing No. 30. He is listed at forward, stands 6-7, and weighs 217 pounds. Hauser is 28 years old and enters his fifth NBA season, all with Boston. He came out of Virginia. There is no report of him changing teams, and nothing in his file lists him among departures. He is not on the injury report right now, which means Boston has no health concerns to track with him heading into the year. The roster spot is his to keep, and last season's workload backs that up: he was a regular in the rotation all year long.
Last Season by the Numbers
In 2025-26, Hauser played in 78 games for Boston, missing very little time. He averaged 24.8 minutes, 9.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game. He added 0.5 steals and 0.3 blocks a night, with a low turnover rate at 0.4 per game. His usage rate sat at 14.1 percent, which fits his role as a floor-spacer rather than a primary shot creator. Those numbers describe a player who logs steady minutes off the bench or in a complementary starting role, doing one job well: shooting.
The Shooting Profile
Hauser's calling card last season was efficiency from three-point range. He shot 39.3 percent from deep in 2025-26, well above league average, and paired it with 41.9 percent shooting from the field overall. At the free-throw line he hit 85.0 percent, another sign of a clean, reliable shooting stroke. His true shooting percentage landed at 59.0, a strong mark for a player who takes a heavy share of threes. Add it up and Hauser graded out as one of Boston's more efficient scorers on a per-shot basis last season, even with a modest scoring average of 9.2 points a game.
Impact on the Floor
Beyond the box score, Hauser's plus-minus last season was plus-4.7, meaning Boston outscored opponents by that margin per 100 possessions with him on the floor. For a role player logging under 25 minutes a night, that is a notable number and points to his value as a spacer who helps a lineup function even without a heavy shot diet. His rebounding (3.8 per game) and low turnover rate (0.4) round out a profile built on doing the small things right and not costing his team possessions.
Health and Outlook
Hauser is not on the injury report entering 2026-27, and there is no injury history on file for him. That clean bill of health, combined with his 78-game workload last season, suggests he is set up to be available from the start of the year. There are no recent games or rumors tied to him right now, which fits a player who is simply expected to continue the role he already holds in Boston. The story for Hauser this season will be whether he can repeat or build on last season's efficient shooting numbers.
