A group led by Celtics minority owner Steve Pagliuca has reached a deal to buy the Connecticut Sun for a record $325 million and move the team to Boston, according to multiple reports.
The franchise wouldn't play in Boston until the 2027 season. Pagliuca also would contribute $100 million for a new practice facility in Boston for the team, a person told The Associated Press.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Saturday because the deal hasn't been publicly announced. The sale is pending approval of the league and its board of governors.
