On August 21, Beijing time, the well-known technology media The Information reported that Amazon founder Bezos is not interested in buying an NBA team and has no intention of incorporating the Celtics into his business empire. Previously, the famous mouth Bill Simmons had released the news that Bezos was interested in bidding for the Green Army, but The Information quickly refuted the rumor.

After winning their 18th title in June, the Celtics were valued at $5.12 billion, fourth in the league and 21st among U.S. professional teams, according to Sportico.

The Celtics' current owner, Grousbeck, has previously said he wants to sell the team in two phases, selling 51% now and the remainder in 2028, provided he retains control until the end of the second phase. Grousbeck is interested in selling the team due to the reorganization of his family's assets.
