This is in response to Sun president Jennifer Rizzotti denying the team's sale to Pags' group as the WNBA pushed back on the team relocating to Boston.

Boston Celtics minority owner Steve Pagliuca is leading a $325 million bid to acquire the WNBA’s Connecticut Sun in a deal that could see the team relocated to Boston by 2027, pending league approval.

If the sale and move go through, Boston will be part of a wave of new WNBA cities. The league announced Portland, Toronto, Cleveland, Detroit and Philadelphia as expansion cities in an upcoming wave of growth, which will unfold over the next five years.
