One of the NBA’s most accurate 3-point shooters, Sam Hauser of the Boston Celtics, has agreed to a four-year, $45 million contract deal, according to his agent Jason Glushon, who spoke with ESPN on Sunday.

Hauser, who will make $2 million in the 2024-25 season, will be under contract through 2028-29 on a Celtics payroll that is set to become one of the most costly in NBA history.

Undrafted out of the University of Virginia in 2021, Hauser has been a Celtics development success story and played a significant part in the franchise’s championship ascension. He shot 42.4% on 3-pointers last season, fourth best among players with 400-plus attempts, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

In addition to Hauser, the Celtics extended the contracts of guard Derrick White (four years, $125 million) and All-NBA forward Jayson Tatum (five years, $315 million) this summer.

Adding Hauser’s extension to the Celtics’ 2025-26 payroll elevates it to a projected $225 million with an additional $210 million luxury tax penalty. The Celtics are expected to be over the league’s second apron for a second consecutive year, which would make their 2032 and 2033 first-round picks untradable.
