UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) - 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 a person familiar with the sale.
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 the person said.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity on Saturday because the deal hasn´t been publicly announced. The sale is pending approval of the league and its Board of Governors.
