The Boston Celtics will “will explore converting Sam Hauser to a standard contract” from his current two way deal according to Celtics Blog’s Keith Smith in a tweet coming soon after the passing of the 2022 NBA trade deadline on Thursday.
The move, precipitated by a cluster of moves by the Celtics that opened up five roster spots on the team, would help get the team to the full, 13-man minimum required by the league and reward the Virginia product for his outstanding play with the team’s G League developmental affiliate, the (Portland), Maine Celtics, where Hauser has spent the bulk of his inaugural campaign in the NBA.
