The price of the sale remains unclear, according to Berger. Comcast will retain ownership over the Philadelphia Flyers and the Wells Fargo Center.
The 76ers were put up for sale in early June, and Harris immediately emerged as the potential buyer. He is worth over $1.5 billion. The Comcast Spectator group had owned the 76ers since 1996, having purchased the team from Harold Katz then.
