Connecticut Sun president Jennifer Rizzotti told reporters on Sunday that the team would remain in its current home of the Mohegan Sun Arena through at least the 2026 season, amidst reports that Boston Celtics' minority governor Steve Pagliuca was leading an ownership group that planned to buy the franchise and move it to Boston.

The Boston Globe reported Saturday afternoon that minority Celtics owner Steve Pagliuca has agreed to a deal with the Mohegan Tribe, owners of the Sun, to purchase the team for a record $325 million and relocate the franchise to Boston, starting as early as 2027.

The league still must approve the sale, which will be for a record $325 million, and declared Saturday nine other cities which sought WNBA expansion franchises "have priority over Boston."
