Just a week after the Celtics formally announced that Boston Basketball Partners L.L.C. — the ownership group for the team— plans to sell its shares of the franchise, lead owner Wyc Grousbeck commented on the sale for the first time Monday during an appearance on CNBC’s “Closing Bell” program.
While Grousbeck has served as the primary figurehead atop the Celtics’ ownership group for years now, he clarified on Monday that he himself is not the principal owner of Boston Basketball Partners L.L.C. ‘s stake.
“I want to clarify, it’s not my majority stake,” Grousbeck noted.
