The 27-year-old will miss his third consecutive game.

The Celtics have listed Hauser as day-to-day moving forward. His next chance to play will be in Game 5 at home on Wednesday.

Hauser suffered a sprained right ankle in Game 1. He was spotted limping to the locker room. With the 27-year-old being ruled out, Luke Kornet or Payton Pritchard could see an uptick in playing time.
