Buss Siblings Challenge Jeanie Buss in Court Over Lakers Stake Sale

A legal dispute within the Buss family has reached the courtroom as the siblings of Los Angeles Lakers governor Jeanie Buss take formal steps to offload their interest in the franchise.

According to reporting relayed by BasketNews, Jim, Johnny, Janie, Joey, and Jesse Buss filed formal opposition in court on Wednesday against a petition from Jeanie Buss that sought to halt the process.

The five siblings voted unanimously to pursue the transaction, moving ahead with plans to sell their family's 17.8% ownership share despite efforts by the team governor to block the sale of the family's majority stake.
