Where it stands
Valuation shifts across the NBA are expected following the $12.5 billion acquisition of the Los Angeles Lakers by Josh Kushner and Bob Iger. This transaction coincides with reports that Dr.
Patrick Soon-Shiong intends to retain his 4% minority interest in the franchise rather than divesting. New York Magazine has characterized the transfer of ownership as involving sibling complexities during the negotiation process.
While the sale sets a new benchmark for team values across all 30 NBA franchises, the specific implications of the minority stake retention on future governance or subsequent franchise evaluations have not yet been specified.
