Jeanie Buss supports Luka Dončić after Lakers sale announcement

Jeanie Buss expressed her support for Luka Dončić following the Lakers' announced sale to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger for $12.5 billion. Buss's endorsement, conveyed via social media, emphasized her alignment with Dončić's commitment to the franchise amidst another ownership transition in less than a year. Dončić, acquired by the Lakers in February 2025, has faced significant changes in ownership since his arrival, now likely to play under three different control groups within 18 months. The Lakers, having recently lost LeBron James to the Philadelphia 76ers, see Dončić as the centerpiece for their future. The sale still requires approval from the NBA's Board of Governors before moving forward.
