Wyc Grousbeck will no longer stay on as governor as part of the Boston Celtics<\/a>‘ $6.1 billion sale to Bill Chisholm<\/a>, sources told ESPN.<\/p>\n

When the sale was announced in March, it was stated that Grousbeck would remain as governor and CEO through 2028.<\/p>\n

But the NBA’s Board of Governors was informed in recent days that Chisholm will now assume the governor title moving forward, sources said.<\/p>\n

The sale is expected to be complete within the next week.<\/p>\n

Grousbeck, whose family leads the group that bought the Celtics in 2002 for $360 million, told ESPN in March that Chisholm asked him to stay on as CEO and governor for the next three seasons, adding he was “glad to do so.”<\/p>\n

Chisholm and his wife, Kimberly, are taking a hands-on approach within the Boston community as they begin their ownership.<\/p>\n

The Celtics have won an NBA record 18 NBA titles — trailing only the New York Yankees (27) and Montreal Canadiens (24) among all North American professional sports leagues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ramona Shelburne Close Ramona Shelburne ESPN Senior WriterSenior writer for ESPN.comSpent seven years at the Los Angeles Daily…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":62881,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[557],"tags":[64,63,590,85],"class_list":["post-62880","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62880","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62880"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62880\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62881"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62880"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62880"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62880"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
