Wyc Grousbeck is no longer the governor of the Celtics, according to ESPN. When the team was sold to Bill Chisholm for a record $6.1 billion earlier this year, it was announced that Grousbeck would remain in his role through 2028.
In an interview back in April, Grousbeck talked about his commitment to the team going forward. ViaMassLive:
And now he's out.
This sounds remarkably similar to what happened with Mark Cuban in Dallas when he sold the majority of the Mavericks in December of 2023. By the time the team was getting swept by the Celtics in the NBA Finals at the end of the season, Cuban was no longer involved in the day-to-day, despite saying he would remain on to help with the ownership transition. Via ESPN:
A few months later the Mavericks traded Luka Doncic to the Lakers without Cuban having any say.
