Los Angeles Lakers, vândut lui Josh Kushner și Bob Iger pentru 12,5 miliarde de dolari, record în NBA

The Los Angeles Lakers are set to be sold to businessmen Josh Kushner and Bob Iger for $12.5 billion, marking a record for sports franchise sales in the U.S. Kushner and Iger initially considered an NBA expansion team in Las Vegas but shifted focus to the Lakers. The deal awaits NBA approval next month in New York. The new owners expressed their honor in taking over the iconic franchise and their commitment to preserving its legacy. This sale follows Mark Walter's acquisition of the team less than a year ago for approximately $10 billion. Walter retains other sports interests, including the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chelsea FC. The announcement comes shortly after LeBron James left the Lakers for the Philadelphia 76ers.
