The NBA Boston Celtics champions will be sold for a record of $ 6.1 billion in the group led by Bill Chisholm.
THE Boston Celtics should be sold for 6.1 billion revolutionary dollars, a record assessment in major American professional sports, to a group led by the partner director of the Symphony Technology Group group, William Chisholm. Agreement, if it is approved by the NbaThe Governors’ Council after an in -depth verification process would break the previous record established by the purchase by Josh Harris of Washington commanders for $ 6.05 billion in 2023. This sale, once finalized, will be the largest in the history of the NBA and the most important transaction of American sports.
Although the agreement is always subject to approval, it represents an extraordinary step for the Celtic organization. The evaluation of $ 6.1 billion should increase, which makes it the reference for future sales of sports franchise. The agreement will only be concluded at least in the summer of 2025.
Boston Basketball Partners LLC, the current property group, announced last year that it would sell the majority of Celtics, retaining the balance of its actions until 2028. WYC GROUSBECK, whose family has owned Celtics since 2002, will continue as the Governor of the team throughout the 2027-28 season, ensuring a gentle transition of leadership.

“My partners and I have immense respect for WYC, the whole Grous family and their indelible contributions to the Celtic organization in the past 23 years,” Chisholm said in a statement confirming the agreement. “We are impatient to learn from WYC and to associate ourselves with Brad Stevens, Joe Mazzulla and the team and the talented staff to rely on their success while we are working to bring back more championships to Boston.”
The figure of $ 6.1 billion will exceed recent sales of NBA franchise by a large margin. In 2023, the Phoenix Suns were bought by Mat Ishbia for $ 4 billion, while the Milwaukee Bucks raised $ 3.5 billion to the owners of Cleveland Browns Jimmy and Dee Haslam. Mark Cuban’s majority participation in the Dallas Mavericks was sold for $ 3.5 billion in an agreement with Miriam Adelson and Patrick Dumont.
“Bill is a great person and a real fan of the Celtics, born and raised here in the Boston region,” said Grousbeck. “His love for the team and the city of Boston, as well as his chemistry with the rest of the leaders of the Celtics, make him a natural choice to be the next governor and owner of the team.”
Grousbeck also noted that Chisholm had asked him to lead the team as CEO and governor during the first three years, remaining as a partner. “I am happy to do it,” said Groubeck.
This historical sale marks the start of a new exciting chapter for Boston Celtics. With a valuation that establishes a new precedent in professional sports, the franchise is ready for continuous success on and off the field. The deep links of Bill Chisholm with the Boston region and the passion for the team guarantee that the Celtics will remain in capable hands, more solidifying their place as one of the most emblematic franchises in the NBA. With the leadership of Chisholm, Groubeck and the talented staff of the Celtics, the future seems brilliant and other championships could be on the horizon.
