Steve Pagliuca's group is poised to purchase the Connecticut Sun WNBA team for a record $325 million and relocate it to Boston's TD Garden by 2027. The deal includes a $100 million investment in a new Boston practice facility. While the WNBA prefers Boston as a future expansion city, the sale requires league approval. The Mohegan Tribe, the Sun's current owner, prioritized the lucrative offer, aiming to focus on its casino operations. Governor Maura Healey strongly supports the move, believing it benefits both the WNBA and the city of Boston.
