WNBA-issued statement pauses reports that Celtics minority owner will purchase the Sun and initiate relocation to Boston

According to a report from the Boston Globe, the Connecticut Sun are being sold to a Celtics-led ownership group for a record $325 million.

Pagliuca hoped to purchase the Celtics this past year from fellow owner Wyc Grousbeck, but another ownership group, led by Bill Chisholm, was selected. Now, the longtime Boston sports owner could be bringing women’s basketball to Boston.
