Jeanie Buss confirmed the sale of the Los Angeles Lakers to Mark Walter, ensuring her continued role as team governor and daily operations overseer. Buss honored her family's legacy with the franchise, expressing confidence in Walter's shared values of commitment and excellence. Walter, a minority stakeholder since 2021 and former Dodgers owner, emphasized the Lakers' iconic status and his respect for Jeanie's dedication. The sale is expected to finalize in late 2023, marking a new chapter for the storied franchise in basketball.
Walter might be new to Lakers fans but he isn't new to the franchise or Los Angeles. He became a minority stakeholder in 2021 after serving as the owner of the Dodgers for a number of seasons.
I have gotten to know Mark very well over time and been delighted to learn how he shares those same values. For the last four years, Mark has been an excellent partner to us.
