According to prepared statements, TSA Stores estimates access to up to $595 million in debtor-in-possession financing which, in conjunction with the company\u2019s liquidities, could help Sports Authority surpass the restructuring procedure.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the upcoming process, Sports Authority will close or sell approximately 140 stores and two distribution centers, in Denver and Chicago. This phase is expected to be completed in the following three months.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/sports-authority-wins-court-approval-for-bankruptcy-loan-and-liquidation-sales-1457048150\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Wall Street Journal<\/a> citing court papers, Sports Authority must find a buyer until the end of April 2016 in order to keep the rest of its 463 stores open.
