Jeanie Buss has filed a petition in Los Angeles Superior Court to block her five siblings from voting to sell the Buss family’s 17.8% stake in the Lakers, claiming the vote is illegal and accusing them of plotting to remove her as team governor. The siblings believe they have the necessary votes to force the sale, which could value their stake at $2.2 billion. Jeanie’s petition references a 2017 court order that supports her control of the team and outlines her role as the franchise’s face. This family drama mirrors a “Succession”-like power struggle, with significant financial stakes involved.
