Buss siblings oppose Jeanie Buss' bid to block Lakers stake sale
Summary

On October 7, Jim, Johnny, Janie, Joey, and Jessie Buss filed formal opposition in Los Angeles Superior Court against their sister Jeanie Buss, who seeks to prevent the sale of the family's 17.8% stake. Jeanie filed a petition claiming the sale aims to remove her as the team's governor and argues it lacks financial sense.
