With the Boston Celtics up for sale, there had been some speculation that Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie might step in and buy the iconic NBA franchise, but that likely won't be happening.  The idea of Lurie buying the team gained a lot of steam on Jan.

Sources indicated to The Inquirer that, while Lurie is not interested in acquiring the Celtics as a majority owner, he would be interested in acquiring a piece of the team as a limited partner.
