According to Washburn, the WNBA could eye Boston as a possible expansion site in 2033. That might complicate the sale, but it's also possible the league and its governors go ahead and approve this transaction. The Celtics are reportedly agreeable to the Sun moving into TD Garden, per Washburn.

Boston Celtics minority owner Steve Pagliuca offered to acquire the Connecticut Sun and move the team to Boston in a deal that values the team at a record $325 million, according to people familiar with the agreement.
