Bill Chisholm Group Reaches $6.1 Billion Deal to Buy Boston Celtics

A consortium that includes tech and real estate investors, alongside a private equity firm, has reached a deal to buy the National Basketball Association’s Boston Celtics for $6.1 billion.

The takeover is not only the biggest NBA deal ever, surpassing the $4 billion valuation hit when Mat Ishbia struck an agreement for the Phoenix Suns in late 2022, but also the largest ever sports takeover. The Washington Commanders were sold in 2023 for $6.05 billion.
