The NBA has seen a notable increase in franchise ownership changes, with 13 teams changing control since 2017, far surpassing the NFL, NHL, and MLB. Notable sales include the Houston Rockets and Brooklyn Nets, with upcoming transactions involving teams like the Lakers and Timberwolves. This surge is linked to a lucrative $76 billion media rights deal, making franchises more appealing despite local media disruptions. The recent $12.5 billion Lakers sale may further heighten ownership turnover as valuations shift and bidders remain active.
