Celtics' Sam Hauser: Cleared for Game 5

Hauser (ankle) is available for Wednesday's Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Knicks.

Hauser is officially set to return from a three-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. The 27-year-old's return certainly doesn't offset the loss of Jayson Tatum (Achilles), but he does give Joe Mazzulla a productive wing option off the bench as the Celtics look to extend their season.
