Jennifer Rizzotti, president of the Connecticut team said to ESPN that a deal was reached to relocate the Sun to Boston for the 2027 WNBA season, but that the sale by the current owners, the Mohegan Tribe, and the move still needs to be approved by the league's WNBA Board of Governors.

Celtics minority owner Steve Pagliuca shared an “important update” on his planned acquisition of the WNBA’s Connecticut Sun.

This is in response to Sun president Jennifer Rizzotti denying the team's sale to Pags' group as the WNBA pushed back on the team relocating to Boston.
