Buss Family Civil War: Jeanie Fights Her Siblings' Vote to Sell the Lakers' Last 17.8% to Kushner and Iger

The family that owned the Lakers for 47 years is now fighting itself over how the story ends. Jeanie Buss, the team's governor, is contesting her siblings' vote to sell the family's remaining 17.8% stake to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger, according to a letter from her lawyer. Her control of the franchise hangs on the outcome: if the sale goes through, she falls below the ownership threshold needed to remain the Lakers' controlling owner.
