Buss Family to Sell Lakers Stake Amid Jeanie Buss's Opposition
The Buss family is selling its remaining 17.8% stake in the Los Angeles Lakers to a group led by Bob Iger and Josh Kushner, marking an end to their ownership. Jeanie Buss, the team's governor since 2013, opposes the sale, asserting her co-trustee approval is required and that any vote without her consent is invalid. If the sale proceeds, she will lose the controlling owner status under NBA rules, as she would no longer meet the 15% ownership threshold.
