Current Celtics majority owner Wyc Grousbeckl, and William Chisholm, who is set to become the team’s next owner, released their first statements on Thursday following the report announcing of the sale of the team for $6.1 billion, according to Business Wire.
Per Grousbeck, current Celtics owner and governor:
“Bill is a terrific person and a true Celtics fan, born and raised here in the Boston area. His love for the team and the city of Boston, along with his chemistry with the rest of the Celtics leadership, make him a natural choice to be the next Governor and controlling owner of the team.
