Jeanie Buss has filed a petition in Los Angeles Superior Court disputing claims about a supposed secret meeting involving her five siblings. She claims the meeting, which allegedly motivated her siblings to sell their 17.8% stake in the Los Angeles Lakers, never occurred. In her filing, Buss labels the attempt to sell as part of a 'devious' scheme to remove her from her position as team governor.
