Jeanie Buss, controlling owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, has initiated legal proceedings to remove her siblings, Joey and Janie Buss, as co-trustees of the family trust that holds ownership of the NBA franchise. The petition, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, argues for their removal from their roles within the trust.
While the specific details of the petition remain under seal, reports suggest that Jeanie Buss's legal action is linked to the potential sale of Lakers assets. The move signals a significant internal dispute within the Buss family regarding the management and future of their stake in the iconic basketball team.
