A close call with history was cut short for Sam Hauser due to an ankle injury, but the setback isn’t expected to keep him out for long.
During Sunday night’s game against the Washington Wizards, Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser was just four 3-pointers away from tying the record for most triples in a single game held by Klay Thompson. However, with 7:53 left in the third quarter, Hauser twisted his ankle and had to leave the game. Despite this, the Celtics went on to secure a 130-104 victory over the Wizards.
Luckily, X-rays on Hauser’s ankle came back negative, indicating that the injury is not severe. This news comes as a relief for the Celtics, as Hauser has been an essential contributor off the bench this season, averaging a career-high 8.4 points per game and shooting 43.2% from beyond the arc.
Although Hauser’s shot at making history was cut short, he made an impressive mark by hitting 10 triples in a game faster than anyone else in league history. His efficient shooting performance showcased his talent and potential, leaving fans eager to see what he can achieve when fully healthy.
With the NBA playoffs on the horizon, Boston will be focused on ensuring Hauser’s full recovery so he can continue to contribute to their success on the court. Despite the minor setback, Hauser’s resilience and determination are sure to carry him through this injury and back onto the court in no time.
