He became one of Joe Mazzulla’s favorites and, unsurprisingly, Sam Hauser will stay at home Celtics next season. The recent NBA champions have just activated their “team option” of 2.1 million dollars, as indicated by the Boston-Globe.
But that’s not all: our colleagues report that the winger and the leaders of Boston will shortly begin the process for an extension. Enough to lock in the future of the local sniper in Massachusetts and offer him a nice salary increase, given his good performances in recent months.
Coming off the bench, Sam Hauser is simply coming off the best season of his career: 9.0 points and 3.5 rebounds on average in 22 minutes, with a nice 42% 3-point success rate. Perfect for the style of basketball offered by the Celtics, in rotation with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, the 26-year-old also proved valuable in the playoffs, despite a small breakdown in skill before the Finals.
Undrafted when he left the University of Virginia in 2021, the Wisconsin native therefore offers himself a nice revenge on life and he will now set out in search of the double with the C’s in 2024–25.
