Sam Hauser Questionable for Celtics’ Game Against Bulls with Back Injury
Sam Hauser of the Boston Celtics is dealing with a back injury. He is listed as questionable for the upcoming game against the Chicago Bulls on December 19th, 2024. Hauser’s recent injury follows a previous adductor issue that kept him off the court earlier this month.
What It Means
Hauser’s back injury puts his participation in the next game in doubt. He has been averaging 8.6 points per game this season, playing an important role as a small forward for the Celtics. His shooting ability, especially from three-point range at 37.3%, has been valuable to the team.
If Hauser is unable to play, Jaylen Brown and Jordan Walsh may see increased minutes at the small forward position. Brown leads with 23.8 points per game, while Walsh averages 1.3 points per game. The team will need to adjust their strategy depending on Hauser’s availability.
