The sports retailer, which filed for Chapter 11 in March with over $1 billion in debt, has decided to liquidate all assets and pursue a sale, Forbes said.

In March, Sports Authority announced it would close its stores in Bridgeport and Danbury. If it goes the liquidation route, the Norwalk would also close. 

Merchandise is already being sold at heavy discounted prices in the stores, with deeper price cuts expected on everything from team apparel and sports equipment to athletic clothing and shoes.
