Jeanie Buss filed a court request to remove her siblings, Joey and Janie Buss, as co-trustees of their family trust. In the filing, she described their actions as 'devious' and called for them to be held in contempt, alleging a breach of fiduciary duty concerning the family's stake in the Los Angeles Lakers. The family trust holds a 17.8 percent share of the team, and according to NBA rules, team governors must own at least 15 percent. No immediate decision on the request has been reported.
