The Buss family is facing internal conflict over the potential sale of their 17.8% stake in the Lakers to Joshua Kushner and Bob Iger, ending their ownership since 1979. Jeanie Buss, the team’s governor, opposes the sale initiated by her siblings and argues it violates trust agreements required for her to maintain her position. The family’s shares are held in a complex trust, necessitating collective agreement for any sale. Legal disputes are likely as family dynamics and ownership interests clash.
