The expansion franchise is backed by several high-profile investors. They include Needham's Aly Raisman, actor Elizabeth Banks, WNBA star and former Massachusetts basketball player Aliyah Boston, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, and USC star basketball player JuJu Watkins.

Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens and his wife Tracy are also investors.
