Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie brushed aside reports on Monday linking him as an interested party in the ongoing sale of the Boston Celtics.
Lurie — a Boston native and well-established fan of several local teams in the area — was tabbed by The Ringer’s Bill Simmons as one of the four or five potential buyers of the NBA franchise who made it to the first round of bidding for the reigning NBA champions.
“The Celtics, it was their first round of buyers, they had to cut down their prospective buyers,” Simmons said.
