Wyc Grousbeck says ‘there’s some discussions underway’ about a WNBA team coming to Boston

Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck says Boston could land a WNBA expansion team in the future.

Following the news of the Bay Area being awarded a ‘Golden State’ women’s team earlier this month, Grousbeck discussed the idea of Boston being the next city to land a squad with Axios BFD on Thursday.

“There’s some discussions underway,” Grousbeck, the Celtics’ owner since 2002, said. “Stay tuned, but I’m not sure. I’ve heard some rumblings.”

The Golden State WNBA team’s announcement came with the news that discussions surrounding a second expansion club would continue. ESPN says Portland would ‘likely’ be the next location, but nothing is set in stone yet.
