The Celtics have added Sam Hauser to the injury report ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers; Hauser, who has yet to miss a game this season, is probable with a right wrist sprain.
Hauser is in the midst of a shooting slump for the Celtics; he’s made just 3 of his last 20 three-pointers and is down to 36.7% shooting from three, well below his 41.6% clip from last season. It’s not clear at this time if Hauser’s recent shooting struggles could be related to his wrist sprain.
The 27-year-old Celtics guard has been quiet offensively of late; he hasn’t scored double-digit points since a 21-point outing against the Cleveland Cavaliers. For the year, he is averaging 7.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game while shooting 33.8% from the field.
The Celtics have been healthy to begin the year
Outside of Hauser, the only other Celtics player on Monday’s injury report is Jayson Tatum, who is expected to miss most, if not all, of the season as he recovers from a ruptured Achilles.
The only players to have missed time this season are Xavier Tillman — who missed Friday’s game against the Magic for personal reasons — and Luka Garza, who dealt with a concussion in the early weeks of the season.
The Celtics will look to improve to 6-6 on Tuesday night. So far this season, they’re 1-1 against the 76ers, having lost a narrow contest on opening night at TD Garden, and following that with a one-point win in Philadelphia on Halloween.
