Former Boston Celtics minority owner Steve Pagliuca release statement on CT Sun bid status
"Contrary to some of the articles that were out yesterday, the team has not been sold," said Rizzotti this weekend. "No transaction has been agreed yet," agreed the statement put out by Pagsgroup, noting the organization's goal of 'keeping New England's WNBA team in New England.'
In the comments made by Rizzotti, allusions were made to other interested parties potentially bidding on the team, and the wording of the statement released by Pagsgroup hints that there may be a bidder (or several) interested in relocating the team outside of New England. It could also be framing to cast the group in such a light given little is known about the competition to buy the team at present.
We do know that Pagsgroup has the support of Massachusetts Governor and basketball fan Maura Healy, as well as, per the release, Rhode Island Governor Daniel McKee.
"Our objective, should we acquire the team, is to honor that legacy, further invest in the team, grow its devoted fan base in the region, and build a championship team that players and fans continue to be proud of," suggests the release from Pagsgroup.

Best of new Boston Celtics big man Chris Boucher in 2024-25
What should we expect from new Boston Celtics big man Chris Boucher? The Celtics signed the Canadian forward to a one-season, veteran minimum deal once they opened up the cap space needed to stay under the NBA's second apron by dealing vet forward Georges Niang into the Utah Jazz' cap space with a pair of second round picks. How does Boucher fit into Boston's big man rotation? Will he play more as a center or as a forward, and will he start or come off the bench? Last season with the Raptors, the Castries, Saint Lucia native put up 10.0 points and 4.5 rebounds per game while shooting 49.2% from the floor overall, 36.3% from deep, and 78.2% from the free throw line. The man behind the "Tomasz Kordylewski (Timi)" YouTube channel put together a clip of his highlights last season so we can get to know his game better. Check it out below!

Best of new Boston Celtics wing RJ Luis Jr. in 2024-25
What should we expect from new Boston Celtics two way player RJ Luis Jr.? The newest addition to the Celtics roster joined the team as the return for vet forward Georges Niang when Boston's front office sent two second round draft picks to the Utah Jazz to use their cap space to absorb Niang's contract, Luis' inclusion making the trade legal in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA). A 22-year-old, 6-foot-7 wing who last played for St. John's at the NCAA level, Luis went undrafted in 2025, and won Big East Player of the Year in his final collegiate season. In it, he put up 18.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.4 steals per game while shooting 43.9% from the floor overall, 33.6% from 3, and 74.7% from the free throw line.

Diana Taurasi revealed her bold response to sex toys on the court
Over the past few days, the WNBA has had several incidents involving unruly spectators unexpectedly throwing sex toys onto the court during games. There are a few theories as to why this keeps happening, though it is a continued problem that has now happened at several arenas around the league. One of the most recent incidents may have targeted Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham, who shared her 5-word reaction on social media. It's unclear what the players should do as this keeps happening, but two-time WNBA Finals MVP and longtime Phoenix Mercury guard Diana Taurasi shared exactly how she would react. More: The green NSFW items throwing controversy at WNBA games, explained During an interview with Front Office Sports that will come out later today, the 2009 WNBA MVP shared her thoughts. Note that just because Taurasi said this is what she would do does not mean others should follow suit. Here is what she said she would do if she found herself in that situation during her career: "I would have picked that thing up and thrown it right back at them." That is, perhaps, the most Taurasi response imaginable and would have made for quite a moment.
