- Last week, an investor group led by Bill Chisholm agreed to purchase the Boston Celtics for a record $6.1 billion.
- The sale, which finalizes in 2028, could face NBA approval complications due to its structure, potentially violating regulations established in 2021 regarding private equity firm involvement.
- According to Axios' Dan Primack, NBA regulations stipulate that a private equity fund can hold a lesser percentage than the control owner, who must maintain a minimum 15% stake, potentially requiring Chisholm to seek a waiver or recruit additional investors.
- Despite the agreed-upon sale to Chisholm's group, Steve Pagliuca, a longtime Celtics co-owner, expressed continued interest in buying the franchise if the deal falls through, emphasizing his fully guaranteed and financed offer without debt or private equity.
- The Celtics, with a 54-19 record and nine games remaining in the 2024-2025 regular season, are facing potential roster changes due to the NBA's salary cap system, with predictions that Kristaps Porzingis, who has one year left on his $30.7 million contract, might be traded to alleviate a projected $500 million in salary and luxury tax obligations.
