> Lakers governor Jeanie Buss is contesting her siblings’ planned sale of the Buss family trust’s remaining 17.8% stake to Bob Iger and Josh Kushner. Her lawyer argues that co-trustee approval is required and that the sale must preserve Buss’s minimum 15% ownership so she can remain controlling owner. The $12.5bn transaction still requires NBA approval.
