Celtics reportedly being sold to William Chisholm for $6.1 billion

The Celtics are reportedly being sold to William Chisholm, according to Boston Globe reporter Adam Himmelsbach. The sale price is $6.1 billion, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.

Chisholm, the founder and managing director of Symphony Technology Group, is a longtime Celtics fan who grew up in Georgetown, Massachusetts.

Symphony Technology Group, which Chisholm leads, is a private equity firm founded in 2002.

Per Himmelsbach, longtime Celtics co-owner Wyc Grousbeck will stay on as a governor during the ownership transition period. Grousbeck bought the Boston-based NBA franchise with an investment group in 2002 for a sum of $360 million.
