Jeanie Buss has filed a petition in Los Angeles Superior Court to halt her five siblings from selling their 17.8% stake in the Los Angeles Lakers. This action comes after the siblings voted to invoke a clause allowing them to sell their shares in response to majority owner Mark Walter's reported sale of his stake to investors Josh Kushner and Bob Iger. A court hearing is set for November 5, where Buss aims to declare the sale invalid and remove her siblings as co-trustees. The dispute highlights ongoing tensions within the Buss family regarding control of the Lakers since patriarch Jerry Buss's death in 2013.
