Jeanie Buss filed a court petition to block her siblings from selling their Lakers stake and to keep them from being removed as family trustees, leaving fans and the league facing uncertainty about team stability. The legal move arises from a dispute over the recent $12.5 billion deal that transferred the Lakers to Mark Walter, a transaction highlighted as a record price.

Buss argues the siblings’ vote to sell shares would disrupt the current governance, prompting her request to maintain the existing trustees.
