The NBA Board of Governors unanimously approves the record $6.1B sale of the Boston Celtics to a group led by private equity executive Bill Chisholm, with closing expected shortly. 
The deal gives Chisholm at least 51% immediately and a path to full control by 2028 at a $7.3B valuation, with Rob Hale and Bruce Beal Jr. also in the group. Wyc Grousbeck steps down as governor but remains CEO and alternate governor through the transition—capping a run that saw titles in 2008 and 2024, bringing the franchise to a record 18 championships. Black Cosmopolitans, this is a milestone for sports business and Boston history—how do you think new leadership will shape the roster, cap strategy, and brand over the next three seasons?
