Celtics' Sam Hauser: Sliding to second unit

Hauser won't start against the Lakers on Friday, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

With Jaylen Brown returning from a one-game absence due to an illness, Hauser will slide back to the second unit. Over his last five games off the bench, the 27-year-old forward has averaged 7.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 21.4 minutes per contest.
