Lakers Sold to Iger and Kushner | Los Angeles Lakers News

The Lakers are changing hands in a blockbuster $12.5 billion deal as Mark Walter sells his majority stake to Bob Iger and Josh Kushner—reportedly finalized in just days. Originally eyeing NBA expansion in Vegas, the duo pivoted to acquire the storied franchise amid rising valuation. Under Walter, the Lakers upgraded their front office and practice facility; now, with Iger’s Disney pedigree and Kushner’s tech and sports background, the future is uncertain but promising. Kushner, who previously held stakes in the Heat and Grizzlies, must divest those, while his marriage to Karlie Kloss and ties to Iger’s Thrive add intrigue. This move reshapes LA basketball—and signals big things ahead. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
