Boston Celtics Not for Sale: CEO Wyc Grousbeck Rejects $6.1 Billion Offer from Prominent Billionaire
In a bold statement that underscores his commitment to the franchise, Boston Celtics CEO Wyc Grousbeck has made it clear that the legendary NBA team is not for sale — despite a reported $6.1 billion offer from an unnamed, high-profile billionaire. The Celtics, one of the most iconic and successful teams in NBA history, have been the subject of intense speculation in recent months, as the value of sports franchises continues to skyrocket.
Sources close to the situation revealed that the offer came from a well-known billionaire with deep interests in both tech and sports, but Grousbeck swiftly declined, reiterating his long-term vision for the franchise. In a statement released Friday, Grousbeck emphasized his deep ties to the Celtics and the city of Boston, stating, “The Boston Celtics are more than just a business — they are a family, a legacy, and a passion. We are not entertaining any offers, and we remain fully committed to competing for championships for years to come.”
The Celtics, currently one of the top contenders for the NBA title, have seen their value soar amid the league’s surging popularity and lucrative media rights deals. Financial analysts estimate that the franchise’s valuation could continue to rise if the team’s on-court success persists.
Fans reacted with relief and pride across social media, with many praising Grousbeck’s loyalty and focus on stability. The Celtics have remained under his leadership since 2002, delivering consistent playoff appearances and securing the 2008 NBA Championship.
For now, Celtics Nation can breathe easy — the green and white remain in steady hands. Grousbeck’s clear rejection of the $6.1 billion offer sends a strong message: the Boston Celtics are not for sale, no matter how high the price.
