Mayor Wu says Boston is ready to do whatever it can to land WNBA team

Boston landing a WNBA team isn’t a done deal yet. But Mayor Michelle Wu says the city is willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen.

Speaking in Charlestown on Monday, Wu reacted to the news that Boston Celtics minority chairman Steve Pagliuca has made an offer to purchase the WNBA’s Connecticut Sun with the possibility of the team moving to TD Garden.

Wu said the move would be “exciting” for the city. However, she pointed out that there are still some hoops to jump through.

“I know this is a decision that sits with the WNBA themselves and the league,” Wu said. ”But the city of Boston is ready to do whatever we could to welcome them.”
