Five of the six members of the Buss trust say they are “united” in their intention to sell their remaining shares in the Los Angeles Lakers, signaling a significant stance within the family’s ownership structure.
The stated position comes despite pushback from Jeanie Buss, who has long been the most visible member of the family in the franchise’s leadership. The development highlights a divide within the Buss family over the future of its remaining stake in one of the NBA’s most prominent organizations.
The Lakers have been controlled by the Buss family for decades, with the franchise becoming one of the league’s signature brands during that period. Any movement involving the family’s shares carries major significance given the team’s history, market profile and place in the NBA landscape.
No additional details were provided regarding the timing, structure or potential outcome of any sale of the remaining shares.
