A twist emerges in $6 billion Celtics sale as new owner readies for control
NY Post
The old Celtics regime is exiting sooner than anticipated.
Boston owner Wyc Grousbeck will no longer remain as the team’s governor after businessman Bill Chisholm purchased the team for $6.1 billion in a twist, according to ESPN.
Grousbeck originally had been slated to stay with the team through the 2027-28 season.
He is expected to remain as CEO, per ESPN, and shift to an alternate governor role upon the completion of the sale, which reportedly should be finalized within the next week.
Original reports in March of the Celtics sale — which at the time set the record for an NBA franchise — said that Grousbeck would remain as governor for the next three seasons.
He told ESPN at the time that Chisholm asked him to do so and he was “glad to do so,” but those plans have since changed.
