Stevens didn’t play much of a role in the sale process — but believes it will be business as usual with new ownership.

The record-setting $6.1 billion sale of the Boston Celtics has fans asking one important question: Who is Bill Chisholm? William Chisholm leads the investment group that will be taking over the Celtics if the mega deal is approved.

Chisholm grew up in Georgetown, Mass. and played soccer for Dartmouth, giving him deep New England roots. Despite the pending new owner's reputation as a massive Celtics fan, Stevens was realistic about what a sale might mean. He expressed his wish for the brain trust behind the 2024 NBA champions to remain intact.
