Wyc Grousbeck and Boston Basketball Partners L.L.C have put their controlling shares in the Boston Celtics up for sale. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski broke the news on Monday (July 1). The Celtics ownership group is expected to field multiple offers for the franchise, with Grousbeck expected to remain as governor until 2028.

In a recent episode of WEEI’s “Jones and Mego,” NBC Sports Boston’s Chris Forsberg joined the show to discuss Grousbeck’s decision to sell, what led to the difficult decision being made and what Celtics fans can expect in the coming months as potential buyers begin to emerge.

Boston is one of the NBA’s best-run franchises. Its value is at an all-time high after winning its 18th franchise championship and retaining the exceptionally talented core for multiple years. However, the Celtics are facing significant tax penalties for their expensively constructed roster.
