As more details about Wyc Grousbeck’s surprising decision to sell his majority share in the Celtics emerge, it might not have actually been his call to make.
H. Irving Grousbeck, Wyc’s father, might be the person who is driving the Celtics’ sale, The Boston Globe‘s Dan Shaughnessy wrote in a recent column based on conversations he’s had with “sources close to the situation.”
The elder Grousbeck, who turns 90 later in July, was a part of the group that bought the Celtics for $360 million in 2003. Even though Wyc Grousbeck is the team’s managing partner, governor, and CEO, it’s believed that the elder Grousbeck has been the “money behind” Boston Basketball Partners LLC.
