The Boston Celtics are one of the most valuable franchises in all of sports. With all of the tradition of winning that they have, that makes a lot of sense. Boston winning the NBA Championship a season ago only makes the franchise more valuable.

The Celtics ownership sale appears to be ramping up as the calendar year turns to 2025. Adam Himmelsbach of the Boston Globe reports that the team sent out a letter from the Grousbeck family to shareholders on Tuesday that indicated the team will receive their first round of bids from potential buyers of the franchise on January 23.

The team's current owners are "pleased with the broad level of interest that has emerged." The post Report: Celtics receiving bids from potential buyers starting next week appeared first on Boston.com.

According to a letter obtained by the Globe, the Celtics ownership group expects the "first close" on the sale to come this spring.
