Lakers controlling owner Jeanie Buss opposes sale of family’s stake to Bob Iger, Joshua Kushner
The sale would end nearly five decades of Buss family control and leave Jeanie Buss without the 15% stake required to remain governor.
- Lakers governor Jeanie Buss is legally contesting her siblings’ plan to sell the Buss family’s remaining 17.8% stake to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger, arguing that the transaction requires approval from the family trust’s co-trustees.
- Because NBA rules require a governor to hold at least a 15% ownership stake, the sale would effectively end Jeanie Buss’ tenure as the team’s governor if completed.
- Mark Walter agreed to sell the Lakers to Iger and Kushner for $12.5 billion, just 14 months after acquiring controlling ownership from the Buss family at a $10 billion valuation.
- The family has been involved with the Lakers since Jerry Buss purchased the franchise in 1979, but the proposed sale of its remaining stake would bring that nearly five-decade relationship to a close, subject to NBA approval and the ongoing legal dispute.
