Jeanie Buss Challenges Family’s Sale of Lakers Stake to Kushner and Iger

Jeanie Buss, the long‑time president and majority owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, has publicly contested a claim that the rest of the Buss family is selling the remaining family stake in the franchise to new owners Josh Kushner and Bob Iger. The dispute centers on whether the family’s remaining shares are being transferred to the Kushner–Iger partnership. If the sale proceeds, Kushner and Iger would become new owners of the Lakers, potentially altering the team’s leadership structure. Jeanie’s challenge could delay or derail the transaction, prompting further legal or internal negotiations within the Buss family and the Lakers organization. The outcome will determine who ultimately holds control of the storied NBA franchise.
