Hauser, who saw time with the Maine Celtics last season, appeared in 26 games with Boston.

The Celtics send five players and a first-round pick to Indiana for the guard, who is under contract through 2025.

The three-time defensive player of the year is heading to the Timberwolves for package that includes five first-round picks.

Davison averaged 8.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.3 assists as a freshman at Alabama.

Boston lost in the NBA Finals and its president of basketball operations feels a better start to the season would have helped.

Boston turned its season around in January, but fell back into some bad habits against Golden State.

A strong start for Jayson Tatum and the Celtics looked so promising, but it all went downhill from there.

Boston jumped ahead 14-2 before allowing a 52-25 Golden State run in the first half, then couldn’t rally all the way back and the Warriors win the title in six games.

Golden State is in on the verge of another NBA title, but Boston has played its best when facing elimination.

Boston has already played in two seven-game series and fatigue seems to be a factor in a Game 5 loss.
