Jeanie Buss remains Lakers governor after recent record sale

The Los Angeles Lakers have been sold to an ownership group led by Josh Kushner and Bob Iger for a record $12.5 billion, only a year after Mark Walter purchased the team for $10 billion. Jeanie Buss, who retained a 17 percent minority ownership when the Buss family sold the majority stake, will continue as the team's controlling governor for at least five more years, maintaining her role despite the ownership change. The Lakers have not clarified the team's new leadership structure following the sale. Buss has not commented on the recent transaction.
