Wyc Grousbeck will not be involved with the Celtics’ incoming new ownership group, according to a new report.

ESPN’s Shams Charania and Ramona Shelburne on Tuesday reported that Grousbeck “will no longer stay on as governor” of Boston’s NBA franchise despite initial plans for him to do so.

When a collective led by Bill Chisholm reached an agreement earlier this year to buy the Celtics for $6.1 billion, it was announced that Grousbeck would remain in his current role as team governor and CEO for three more seasons before ceding those duties to Chisholm in 2028.

“My partners and I have immense respect for Wyc, the entire Grousbeck family and their indelible contributions to the Celtics organization over the last 23 years,” Chisholm said in a statement in March. “We look forward to learning from Wyc and partnering with Brad Stevens, Joe Mazzulla and the talented team and staff to build upon their success as we work to bring more championships home to Boston.”

Grousbeck, the face of Boston’s ownership group since his family and its partners bought the team for $360 million in 2002, said at the time that Chisholm “has asked me to run the team as CEO and Governor for the first three years, and stay on as his partner, and I am glad to do so.”

It was not immediately clear what prompted this change of plans. The transfer of governor duties to Chisholm “will be finalized soon,” per ESPN’s report.
