Celtics co-owner set to buy WNBA’s Connecticut Sun for record $325m

The Celtics co-owner, Steve Pagliuca, has reached a deal to purchase the WNBA's Connecticut Sun for a record $325 million. The team is expected to relocate to Boston by 2027, and Pagliuca's group plans to invest an additional $100 million to build a new practice facility for the team in the city. The sale is still pending approval, but if approved, it would mark the highest-ever price paid for a WNBA franchise. The move aims to bring the Sun closer to the Celtics' fanbase and infrastructure, potentially boosting the team's visibility and fan engagement in the Boston area.
