Sam Hauser's Shot Struggles and Reduced Role Amidst Celtics' Rebounding Woes

Sam Hauser, initially a starter for the Boston Celtics, has seen his role diminish due to the team's rebounding issues and a significant drop in his shooting efficiency. Averaging just 96.7 points per 100 shot attempts this season, a stark decline from his 128.2 average over the past three years, Hauser has struggled with his shot, particularly in November, hitting one or fewer three-pointers in six consecutive games. A wrist sprain may be contributing to his exasperation, as the Celtics seek alternatives to address their frontcourt challenges, hoping he can rediscover his shooting touch.
