Jayson on how he and Jaylen finally got over the hump and learned to coexist.. “We’ve figured out that we need each other,” Jayson Tatum says. “We have learned how to coexist. And we know we need to be the best version of ourselves in order for all of this to work. We weren’t necessarily the best playmakers early in our careers but we developed into guys that really bleed the game. We want to be a great example of guys that play on both ends as a floor and guys who are the best teammates that we can be.”

Bob Cousy has seen all of the Celtics NBA championships and now the Worcester resident will officially be part of the team’s 18th title win. Celtics team governor Wyc Grousbeck told the Hall of Fame point guard on Tuesday that the franchise would be present Cousy with a championship ring according to Bill Doyle of the Worcester Telegram.

Grousbeck paid a visit to Cousy at his Worcester home to pass along the news and bring along the franchise’s championship trophies to share with the Celtics legend, Cousy, 95, remains a close observer of the franchise after spending nearly 50 years as both a player and color commentator for the franchise.

The 13-time All-star won six titles with the Celtics as a player and also predicted the team would beat the Mavericks in five games ahead of the NBA Finals according to Grousbeck.

Cousy also told Chris Forsberg of NBC Sports Boston last month that he hopes former teammate Satch Sanders would be able to join him at TD Garden as the franchise raises their 18th banner.

“It’s something I would love to participate in,” Cousy told Forsberg. “I would have one condition: that I share it with my dear friend and the only remaining player left from the ‘50s and ‘60s, Satch Sanders, who doesn’t get enough attention. I would love to have him at my side.”

The NBA schedule will officially be released next month but the team is expected to host the opener when the regular season kicks off on Oct. 22.

BOSTON, MA – The Boston Celtics announced today that they have signed forward Sam Hauser to a contract
extension. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“You can count on Sam. He comes to work every single day with the right mindset and attitude,” said Brad Stevens, President of Basketball Operations. “His shooting gets most of the attention – but his feel for the game, defensive versatility, and his consistency as a teammate have allowed him to impact our team in the biggest of moments. We are excited Sam has decided to extend his contract with the Celtics.”
Hauser has appeared in 185 career games (21 starts) with the Celtics over the last three years, averaging 7.0 points and 2.8 rebounds in 17.2 minutes per game since originally signing to a two-way contract in August 2021. Hauser owns the best three-point shooting percentage in Celtics history at 42.2 percent (min. 150 3FG) while his 356 career makes ranks 15th in Celtics history. The Wisconsin native is one of only five Celtics in franchise history to register at least 400 rebounds, 270 three-pointers, and 115 assists off the bench.
During the 2023-24 season, Hauser appeared in 79 games (13 starts) and averaged career-highs across the board with 9.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 22.0 minutes per game. Hauser played in all 19 playoff games during the Celtics’ championship run and averaged 5.4 points and 2.2 rebounds while shooting 42.9 percent from the floor. Hauser scored a playoff career-high 17 points on 5-of-8 made three-pointers and recorded five rebounds in the Celtics’ 118-84 win over Miami on May 1.
Hauser knocked down a career-best 197 three-point field goals last season, becoming the first undrafted player in Celtics history to register at least 160 threes in a single season. On February 13, he scored his 1,000th career point on a catch-and-shoot three against Brooklyn, becoming the 11th Celtic to score at least 1,000 points off the bench since 2006.
The Virginia product scored a career-high 30 points on a career-best 10-of-13 made three-point field goals and grabbed six rebounds at Washington on March 17, 2024. Hauser’s 10 threes in 22:49 minutes of action is the fewest minutes played in a 10-three game in NBA history and he tied Jaylen Brown for the second-most made threes in a game in Celtics history.

The Boston Celtics believed in Sam Hauser when no other NBA team did, and now they have doubled down on their commitment to each other.
The undrafted-free-agent-turned-NBA-champion penned a fresh page in his remarkable basketball story Tuesday by signing a contract extension with the C’s.
After each team passed on Hauser in the 2021 NBA draft, the Celtics gave the University of Virginia product a chance with a two-way contract. Hauser worked his way up from there to a standard contract by his second season, earning consistent minutes in the rotation. By his third season, Hauser was one of Boston’s main pieces off the bench and played a key role in the team’s championship run.
“I’m a believer in things happening for a reason,” Hauser told Celtics.com on the night Boston captured its 18th title. “The Celtics gave me an opportunity, and I just try to make the most of it every day, try to get better every day.”
Hauser has improved in every aspect of the game since joining the Celtics. He came in as a strong shooter and from there, developed into one of the premier marksmen in the league. He currently owns the best 3-point percentage in Celtics history (42.2 percent) among players who have played multiple seasons with the team.
He’s also become a reliable defender, making him a legitimate 3-and-D threat. On top of that, he’s been a model teammate, bringing a positive presence to the locker room every day.
“You can count on Sam,” Stevens said. “He comes to work every single day with the right mindset and attitude. His shooting gets most of the attention – but his feel for the game, defensive versatility, and his consistency as a teammate have allowed him to impact our team in the biggest of moments. We are excited Sam has decided to extend his contract with the Celtics.”
Hauser is coming off his best season yet after producing 9.0 points and 3.5 rebounds per game for the champs. He shot 42.4 percent from long range, the fourth-best mark in the NBA among players with at least 400 such attempts. Of his 197 made threes, 179 were of catch-and-shoot fashion, the sixth-most in the league.
Hauser is the eighth Celtic to commit to an extension since April, joining Jrue Holiday, Jayson Tatum, Derrick White, Luke Kornet, Xavier Tillman, Neemias Queta, and two-way player Drew Peterson. The team also extended Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porzingis, and Payton Pritchard before the start of last season.
Boston’s front office is all-in on its championship crew and Hauser is a major piece in that. He’s come a long way from his days as an undrafted free agent and he’s earned this long-term commitment from the team after all of the hard work he’s put in over the last three years.
