A group led by Boston Celtics minority owner Steve Pagliuca is purchasing the Connecticut Sun for a record $325 million and putting another $100 million towards a team-specific practice facility, with the intention of moving the team to Boston, according to multiple reports.

The move could come as soon as the 2027 season, according to The Associated Press. News of the sale was first reported by the Boston Globe.

I assume they'll play their games at the Garden?

I really wonder what Pags is thinking here. The Sun won?t have their own arena and likely cannot afford to build. Also building a new arena is proving difficult in the greater Boston area. The Bruins own TD Garden and I am not sure if there are many open event slots for another team.
