The star of the Boston Celtics, Kristaps Porzingis, received good news: on October 22, he will receive his 2024 NBA championship ring when the team hosts the New York Knicks and raises Banner No. 18 at TD Garden.

The NBA’s most successful franchise, with 18 titles, is up for sale after securing its latest championship in the recently concluded season. The Grousbeck family, specifically Irving Grousbeck, a co-owner of the Boston Celtics, and his son Wycliffe, the franchise's lead owner and governor, have decided to sell.

They have cited “estate planning purposes” as their reason for selling. Now that they are champions, they expect their shares to increase significantly, but they face a significant issue with high contract commitments and associated tax penalties.
