Jeanie Buss Challenges Siblings' Attempt to Sell Lakers Stake

Jeanie Buss, the governor of the Los Angeles Lakers, is reportedly attempting to halt her siblings' plans to sell their remaining ownership stake in the team. The Buss family had announced an intention to sell their 17.8% ownership to Bob Iger and Joshua Kushner.
