Court postpones hearing for Lakers minority stake sale until December

A Los Angeles Superior Court judge approved a request from Jeanie Buss’s attorney to delay a hearing regarding the potential sale of the Buss family’s minority interest in the Lakers. The legal proceedings, originally set for November 5, are now rescheduled for December 8, 2026. Jeanie Buss filed a petition to block the sale of a 17.8% stake in the team to Bob Iger and Josh Kushner, alleging she was excluded from the decision-making process. Her counsel sought the continuance due to scheduling conflicts in Europe. Amid the legal dispute, reports suggest internal uncertainty regarding the future of the team’s governorship. Jeanie Buss maintains her current role as team governor while the litigation continues to move through the court system.
