Officially ruled out Hauser (ankle) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Bucks, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Unlikely to play Wednesday Coach Joe Mazzulla said before Wednesday's game against the Bucks that he thinks Hauser (ankle) will be sidelined, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
Impact While Mazzulla indicated that he's still awaiting official word regarding Hauser's status, it seems unlikely that the 26-year-old will be able to suit up due to his left ankle sprain. Assuming Hauser is officially ruled out, Jaden Springer and Svi Mykhailiuk could see additional minutes.

Upgraded to questionable Hauser (ankle) is questionable to play Wednesday versus Milwaukee, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Impact Hauser potentially returning to action in short order after suffering what appeared to be a serious ankle sprain in Sunday's win over Washington bodes extremely well for his availability down the stretch. His official status remains unclear, being joined by Jaylen Brown (ankle) and Jrue Holiday (shoulder) as questionable for Wednesday's game.

Impact Hauser suffered a left ankle sprain Sunday against the Wizards and didn't return to the game. Therefore, it's not a surprise to see the Celtics hold him out Monday. With Hauser and several key players sitting, the Celtics could turn to Oshae Brissett and Svi Mykhailiuk.

Won't return Sunday Hauser won't return to Sunday's game against the Wizards due to a left ankle sprain, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Impact Hauser appeared to roll his ankle near the sideline early in the third quarter before heading to the locker room and ultimately being ruled out for the remainder of the game. Hauser was lighting it up before his departure, posting a career-high 30 points and knocking down 10 three-pointers on just 13 attempts. The 26-year-old pro becomes just the sixth player this season to make 10-plus threes in a single game. The Celtics play the second half of a back-to-back set Monday, making it likely for Hauser to miss at least one game.

Gets another start Hauser will start Sunday's game against the Wizards, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Impact With Jaylen Brown (ankle), Derrick White (hand) and Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) out, Hauser and Oshae Brissett will start alongside Jrue Holiday, Jayson Tatum and Al Horford. As a starter this season (seven games), Hauser has averaged 9.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 33.6 minutes.

Scores 14 as starter Hauser notched 14 points (5-13 FG, 4-11 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 123-107 road win over the Jazz.
Impact Hauser has looked impressive in back-to-back games to end Boston's current road trip. That said, his opportunities will decrease when Jaylen Brown (back) and Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) return from their injuries. Hauser was part of a Celtics lineup that shot 40.8 percent from behind the arc. But he will probably return to his season average 21 minutes per game when Boston returns home Thursday and faces the Suns.

Joins starting five Hauser will start Tuesday's game against the Jazz.
Impact The Celtics initially planned to start Payton Pritchard, but they submitted a new lineup roughly 15 minutes before tipoff. With Jaylen Brown (back), Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Al Horford (toe) all ruled out, Hauser could see significant minutes Tuesday.
MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE
Best performance of season Monday Hauser totaled 22 points (8-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt), two rebounds, one block and two steals across 32 minutes off the bench during Monday's 121-99 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Impact The third-year wing played more than 30 minutes for the first time since Jan. 21, helping pick up the slack left by the absences of Jrue Holiday (knee) and Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring), and Hauser turned the court time into season highs in scoring and made three-pointers. He's been an especially dangerous weapon from beyond the arc of late, draining multiple threes in six of the last 10 games while shooting 50.0 percent (23-for-46) from long distance.

Good to go Wednesday Hauser (shoulder) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against Minnesota.
Impact Hauser missed Monday's loss to Indiana due to a shoulder injury, marking his first absence of the season. He'll return to action Wednesday and presumably garner his usual role. Across three January appearances, the sharpshooter has averaged 8.0 points on 47.4 percent shooting in 16.3 minutes per game.
