Chad Lowe's eldest daughter Mabel, 17, found a quiet and deeply personal way to honor her late sister, Fiona, just days after the 13-year-old's heartbreaking death on September 29.
On October 2, Mabel reposted a video of her younger sister on her Instagram Story doing one of the things she loved the most: dancing. Kendra Andrews, the younger sister of sports reporter Erin Andrews, posted the original video. She's a professional dancer and actress in Los Angeles, and she also choreographed for Fiona.

WASHINGTON — The talks to end the Iran war had hit a snag.
Vice President JD Vance had flown to Pakistan for negotiations with the Iranians, a sign that the two sides had narrowed their differences and the White House might be poised to announce a breakthrough.
As the marathon April meeting unfolded, though, U.S. negotiators began to worry: It looked like the Iranians were changing the terms of a potential deal. So, during a pause, they phoned Secretary of State Marco Rubio to get a “steer” on what they should do next, an administration official with direct knowledge of the matter said in an interview.
Rubio agreed that they couldn’t accept Iran’s offer, the official said. There would be no deal.
Rubio isn’t the face of the Iran negotiations. He’s kept a discreet public distance as the unpopular war grinds on. Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and the president’s longtime friend and special envoy Steve Witkoff are the main protagonists in the push to end both the Iran and Russia-Ukraine conflicts.

Ivanka Trump's latest photo of her son playing golf has caught everyone's attention. She shared a carousel of pictures on Instagram, giving a glimpse of how she spent the summer. The caption reads, "Camera roll summer 2026." She has shared various moments with family and friends in the post. One that has drawn everyone's attention is her son's choice of footwear on the golf course.
Ivanka Trump's son hit the golf course in a unique choice of footwear in her latest Instagram post. The 44-year-old has shared 19 slides, including photos and videos, on her social media feed. She has compiled the most precious moments of her "summer 2026." The pictures featured her spending time with her friends and family.
One of the snaps that appeared interesting to all showed her son on the golf course. He wore a powder blue T-shirt and beige shorts with a white golf cap styled differently, with the little boy wearing it backwards to keep it cool.
At first glance, he looked like a professional player, swinging his golf club and showing off his perfect posture. But then, upon closer look, one would notice Trump's son's quirky twist to his golf attire. In the photo, he has put a playful spin on the sport by wearing blue sliders instead of shoes.
The businesswoman has shared more sweet moments from her camera roll in the post, capturing her perfect summer. The recap began with Trump riding a horse on a beachside, enjoying the carefree vibe. It then ended with a photo of her husband, Jared Kushner, carrying her in his arms. The sweet image portrayed the affection between the couple.

MOSCOW, Sept 5 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin held more than three hours of "highly useful" talks on Saturday with two U.S. envoys seeking a deal to end the Ukraine war, a Kremlin aide said, but he gave no indication of any breakthrough.
The ‌aide, Yuri Ushakov, said Americans Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner "outlined a number of ideas regarding possible avenues for a settlement". Ushakov did not say what ‌these ideas were.
He said Putin had told the pair that Russia was making "real progress" on the battlefield and was confident of achieving its goals, while stressing the necessity of addressing "all the root causes of the conflict".
These are statements that Moscow has made repeatedly since Putin launched the full-scale invasion of Russia's smaller neighbour in February 2022. Both sides have intensified long-range air strikes in recent weeks while the front lines remain largely static.

Before purchasing the Los Angeles Lakers with Bob Iger, Josh Kushner and his company — Thrive — were at the center of another major purchase. Kushner was expected to be one of the main characters at the center of Gianni Infantino's plan to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors.
That plan turned out to be a disaster. Opposition from member **** ociations, strongly-worded statements and boycotts turned the soccer world against Infantino, who continues to face criticism and calls for his job today.
FIFA eventually announced that plan was scrapped and Kushner purchased the Lakers a few weeks later.
Until Monday, Kushner had not commented on his involvement with the FIFA proposal. He finally broke his silence, telling Axios he would not have gotten involved at all had he known how much member **** ociations would oppose the deal.
"Money in football has historically been concentrated amongst a small group of countries. The idea behind FFE was to direct more capital and equity equally amongst all 211 member countries, providing significantly more investment to underdeveloped nations to nurture local talent, support grassroots football, enhance the fan experience, and ultimately grow the global game everywhere.

Joshua Kushner – the brother of Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner – has expressed regret at becoming involved in the controversial plans of Fifa president Gianni Infantino to sell off stakes in the World Cup to private investment.
Kushner is the founder and chief executive of venture capital firm Thrive Capital, and had held talks with Infantino about heading up a $4.2bn (£3.1bn) investment in 20 per cent of a proposed new Fifa commercial subsidiary, Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE).
However, the idea was abandoned just days after it was revealed amid a huge backlash and Uefa is now preparing to bring a criminal complaint against Infantino in Switzerland for "criminal mismanagement".

Infantino's sell-off scheme collapsed within days last month after Uefa threatened to boycott the World Cup and other Fifa competitions, although the European governing body recently called off its boycott after saying it had received "assurances" that Fifa would not attempt to sell off stakes in its competition again.

The battle of the Busses over the future of their stake in the Los Angeles Lakers is officially becoming a legal matter. Again.
Jeanie Buss has petitioned a Los Angeles Superior Court to block her five siblings from selling the family's remaining 17.8% stake in the Lakers, which she claims to be a scheme to remove her from her role as team governor, according to The Athletic's Sam Amick and Melody Gutierrez.
A court hearing is reportedly scheduled for Nov. 5.
The five other siblings — Johnny, Jim, Janie, Joey and Jesse — announced their intention to sell days after majority owner Mark Walter, who bought the lion's share of the team from the Busses last year, was reported to be selling his stake in the team to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger, at a record valuation of $12.5 billion.
The five siblings reportedly voted to invoke a "tag-along" clause to sell their stake to Kushner and Iger, prompting a response from Jeanie's lawyer declaring any vote to sell as "void."

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Monday said "no one from the Trump Cartel is getting a pass" in a post on the social media platform X. The video comes after he faced backlash for meeting with Jared Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law.
The New York Times reported Sunday that the two met privately ahead of November's midterms to discuss common ground on issues like housing, immigration and the high cost of living.
Jeffries said Kushner reached out to him first, and he accepted so the pair could discuss affordability. His post emphasized, however, that House Democrats have pushed the Trump administration on issues including tariffs, the Affordable Care Act, nutritional ****** istance and more.
"I shouldn't have to say it, but I am. No one is going to get a pass," he said. "We're going to follow the facts, apply the law, and be guided by the Constitution beginning on day one. And hold the crooks accountable."
Reactions to the meeting have been mixed. Tommy Vietor, a co-host of "Pod Save America" and former Obama aide, took to X on Sunday to criticize Kushner.

LeBron James is the latest NBA player to have his finances come under scrutiny following a new report from Bloomberg that was published on Tuesday. According to the story's headline, "LeBron James Borrowed $300 Million From Insurers Arranged by Guggenheim."
Guggenheim is the financial services firm run by Mark Walter, the guy who owned the Los Angeles Lakers for about a year. He recently sold the team to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger. The Dodgers might be next. You're probably familiar with all that.

If you are familiar with all that, the headline sounds pretty juicy. However, if you actually reading the article it sounds more like LeBron James was doing some basic rich guy stuff. So anyone expecting a year-long investigation into the Lakers committing cap circumvention is going to be disappointed. The story doesn't seem to have anything to do with LeBron choosing or re-signing with the Lakers. Via Bloomberg:
"James' borrowing from the two Midwestern insurers — structured as sales of ***** et-backed bonds — began when he was at the Cleveland Cavaliers and his career was poised for new heights."

Ivanka Trump flaunts her surfing skills during a family trip to Costa Rica. President Donald Trump's daughter donned a black wetsuit and white full-sleeved top over it, with her hair tied in neat braids. Her husband, Jared Kushner, and the couple's children, Arabella Rose, Joseph Frederick, and Theodore James, didn't appear to be present.
Ivanka Trump gave a glimpse into her summer holidays by putting her surfing skills to the test in Costa Rica. The 44-year-old shared a lengthy carousel showcasing some wholesome, candid moments from her recent summer break. The photos accompanied the caption: "Summer Snaps."
Although Trump did not share photos of herself surfing in a white wetsuit, Page Six published the photos. The 44-year-old showed off her athletic prowess on a green surfboard, with an instructor reportedly guiding her through the process.
Trump did not wear any makeup, and her skin looked flushed due to the intense water activity. However, she was seen with a dainty bracelet or her hair tie on her wrist and a surf leash on the right ankle. At one point, Trump slipped and fell in the ocean but got back on her feet to surf again. In a few other snaps, she flaunted a candid smile, indicating that she seemingly enjoyed surfing by herself.
The US President's daughter might have enjoyed her surfing outing, but the internet wasn't particularly impressed by it. One fan commented, "I think you mean—'took surfing lessons.'" A second fan quipped, "If you show her dad these pics he might stay awake in meetings!" A third fan joked, "Those pictures look like a poor photoshop job." A fourth fan wrote, "That's not surfing, it's yachting with fins."

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner met in recent weeks and spoke about possible issues of common ground, according to reports, landing the top House Democrat in hot water with some on the political left who have taken issue with the reported get-together.
The men talked about housing, immigration and high living costs as possible categories of common ground, the New York Times reported. Kushner, the husband of Trump's daughter Ivanka, suggested that the lawmaker should meet with White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, two individuals with knowledge of the meet-up noted, according to the outlet.

With five of the six Buss siblings looking to sell their 17.8% stake in the Los Angeles Lakers to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger just 10 months after selling their majority stake to Mark Walter, it is unknown exactly who will be in charge of the storied franchise.
Jeanie Buss, who is the team's governor, is the one Buss sibling opposed to selling that minority share. If the Buss family sells its portion, she will lose her position as governor. Earlier this month, Walter agreed to sell his majority share to Kushner and Iger, and that sale is expected to become official within several weeks.
According to a report by Tom Friend of Sports Business Journal, NBA commissioner Adam Silver is expected to step in and help find some sort of solution to the Lakers' ownership saga.
"The Lakers' situation isn't as clear cut, with sources believing Commissioner Adam Silver -- who has always been close with Jeanie Buss -- will try to help smooth over the Buss family chaos."
If Silver does step in, it is unclear what that would entail. There have been other NBA franchises sold in recent months, and the new owners of those teams haven't necessarily been better than the previous owners. For example, Thomas Dundon, who bought the Portland Trail Blazers last year, has taken very aggressive measures to cut costs, while the Celtics traded away five-time All-Star Jaylen Brown earlier this summer under the new ownership regime of William Chisholm and Aditya Mittal.

In one of the wealthiest enclaves in South Florida, even a billionaire fortune reportedly is not enough to secure entry.
Indian Creek Country Club, set within the gated island community nicknamed "Billionaire Bunker," reportedly has not admitted Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, media personality Lauren Sánchez, and Ivanka Trump.
According to the Daily Mail, joining the Indian Creek club can be exceptionally difficult, even for people who can cover its reported costs: a $1 million initiation fee and $44,000 in monthly dues.
In February, Bezos and Sánchez reportedly turned up at the club's dock party as part of an apparent bid to make a favorable impression on the board. The pair, owners of three properties on the island, reportedly received a warm response from many members, but no invitation had been extended when the report was published.
Membership has also reportedly proved elusive for Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, whom the report described as owners of a $30 million island home.

Dodgers president Stan Kasten attempted to calm online speculation about the future of the franchise under billionaire owner Mark Walter on Friday.
"The Dodgers are not being sold. They're not for sale. There's no process that has been started to sell it, period," Kasten told reporters on the field before the team's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. "We are planning only to win."
The conjecture began earlier this month when Walter agreed to a stunning sale of the Los Angeles Lakers to businessmen Josh Kushner and Bob Iger for a record-breaking price of $12.5 billion, according to sources. Walter bought a controlling stake in the franchise from the Buss family last year.
"I can't tell you how important the Dodgers are to Mark," Kasten said. "The Lakers thing? The Lakers were important to him too, but it's kind of an extraordinary opportunity, which he took."
Multiple media outlets last month reported that Walter's business empire is under scrutiny from federal prosecutors and the Securities and Exchange Commission in tax fraud investigations. Walter is cooperating with the investigation.

Right now, it isn't clear whether Josh Kushner and Bob Iger will end up buying only Mark Walter's majority share of the Lakers, or if they will also purchase the minority share the Buss family continues to currently own. Walter, who bought his majority stake last year from the Buss family, agreed to sell it to Kushner and Iger last week, and five of the six Buss siblings, except for Jeanie Buss, voted to sell their 17.8% stake to Kushner and Iger on Monday.
In Walter's brief time as the team's majority owner, the Lakers have started to build out their business and basketball operations and move past being operated in a manner akin to a mom-and-pop store. But that process isn't complete, and NBA reporter Brian Windhorst said on "The Hoop Collective" podcast that the franchise is now in a "hiring freeze."
"The crazy thing here is that the Lakers were in the middle of this makeover for their team," said Windhorst. "… I know of one guy who was a front office guy who was in the middle of leaving one team to go to the Lakers, and now all of a sudden they're in a hiring freeze."
In recent months, the Lakers brought in former NCAA ****** le-winning coach Tony Bennett to be a draft advisor and Rohan Ramadas to be an ****** istant general manager in charge of ****** ytics and handling the salary cap, among others.
General manager Rob Pelinka said a few months ago that the team intended to hire two ****** istant general managers, but it hasn't brought on board that second ****** istant GM yet.

The Los Angeles Lakers are looking at brand new ownership. Once the dust settles, one reporter thinks they will have their eyes on a 3-time NBA MVP.
The Los Angeles Lakers have faced huge upheaval this offseason. LeBron James left the franchise after eight seasons, but the bigger stories have come away from the roster.
Mark Walter sold the team for $12.5 billion to a group led by Bob Iger and Josh Kushner amid his federal investigation. The new owners are also trying to buy out the Buss family's remaining minority stake.
With all of this happening in the background, it is hard to predict where the franchise will go in the future. One team insider suggests that they have an explosive vision for the team.

MOSCOW, Aug 21 (Reuters) - Russia is open to listening to new proposals on how to reach a settlement on the Ukraine conflict, a senior Russian diplomat said, but ‌any proposals should reflect the "realities on the ground".
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said ‌in an interview with media outlet News.ru published on Friday that the U.S. demonstrated a readiness for "constructive dialogue" and an "understanding of Russia's position".
"At this stage, it is more important to what extent Washington is able to influence the decisions of the Kyiv regime and its European sponsors, who still dream of a 'strategic defeat' of Russia," he told the outlet.
Negotiations between Russia and the U.S. to bring about an end to the conflict ‌in Ukraine have largely stalled ⁠amid the war in Iran.
The Kremlin said on Thursday that it had no information yet on a possible next visit to Moscow by U.S. presidential envoys ⁠Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, who have led negotiations with Russia in the past.

As the fight over what will happen to the Buss family's stake in the Los Angeles Lakers begins in the wake of Mark Walter's shocking sale of his majority ownership of the franchise to Bob Iger and Josh Kushner, one of the team's minority owners, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, has no plans to sell his part of the team. "Dr. Patrick is absolutely not selling his minority share of the Lakers," Chuck "Tiger" Kenworthy, the Soon-Shiong family attorney, told ESPN on Thursday. "Bob Iger and Josh Kushner are good friends, and we will be joining them as supportive, active and engaged partners once they close the transaction with Mr. Walter. We are extremely excited about the Lakers' future and look forward to many more championship years."

The Los Angeles Lakers sale to Bob Iger and Joshua Kushner will continue, but Jeanie Buss is considering all options to prevent her family from selling their remaining share.
The Buss family still owns 17.8% of the Lakers, but Jeanie's five siblings are trying to sell their remaining ownership stake to the Iger and Kushner-led ownership group.
Jeanie is trying to block the sale of the family stake to retain her powers as the team's Governor, but is also exploring an alternative measure which could safeguard her position for the rest of her life.
The Athletic is reporting that Jeanie would be open to exploring a scenario where she is the one who purchases the family's shares instead of them selling it to Iger and Kushner.
"Jeanie, meanwhile, clearly has no intention of selling her shares before the rest of her governorship is up. Could there be a way for the rest of the siblings to sell and Jeanie to remain as governor?… Per a league source, Jeanie would be open to exploring that scenario."

The Los Angeles Lakers have certainly been going through lots of changes over the past year and a half or so. After they traded for new franchise player Luka Doncic in early February of 2025, the Buss family, which had owned the team since 1979, agreed to sell a majority share of it to Mark Walter, and that sale became official in October.
Last week, Walter agreed to sell that share to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger. The Buss family currently owns a 17.8% share of the Lakers, but on Monday, five of its members voted to sell that remaining stake to Kushner and Iger.
The one dissenter in the Buss family when it comes to selling that remaining stake is Jeanie Buss, the team's governor. According to an ESPN report, her five siblings feel she showed too much haste in making that initial sale to Walter last year.
"Last June, the Buss family made the decision to sell to Mark Walter at a valuation of $10 billion, a then-record for a U.S. professional sports franchise. Multiple Buss siblings, however, felt frustrated at Jeanie and misled by her over what they believe was a rushed sale, sources close to the process told ESPN. Those siblings felt pressured to vote 'yes.'"
Dr. Buss, the late father of the Buss siblings, first purchased the team in 1979, and it won 10 NBA championships before he died in 2013. The younger Buss became its controlling owner following his passing.

On Monday came the stunning news that five of the six Buss family siblings had voted to sell their remaining share of the Los Angeles Lakers that they hadn't sold to Mark Walter last year. They agreed to sell that remaining stake to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger, who had already agreed to purchase Walter's majority share last week.
The lone dissenter among the Buss siblings is Jeanie Buss, the governor of the team. The other five issued a statement on Tuesday reiterating their decision to sell, per ESPN.
"The Los Angeles Lakers have never been just a basketball team. They have been one of the greatest privileges of our lives," the Buss family said in a statement to ESPN's Shams Charania on Tuesday. "Our focus has always been on what we believe is best for the Lakers, the fans who have supported this franchise for generations and the greater Los Angeles community.
"Johnny, Jimmy, Janie, Joey and Jesse have made the decision to sell the family's remaining stake, and we remain united in that decision. We intend to move forward thoughtfully, respectfully and through the appropriate process."
It was Dr. Jerry Buss, the late father of the six Buss siblings, who first purchased the Lakers from Jack Kent Cooke in 1979. In the 34 years he owned the team, it won 10 NBA championships and reached the NBA Finals 16 times, transforming it from a bridesmaid franchise into the gold standard of basketball.

#remaining #decision #tuesday

The durability of Walter's agreement with Buss for her to remain as controlling owner until 2030 could also spark debate. One key question is whether that agreement contains language on the circumstance of Walter selling his interest prior to 2030. It stands to reason the parties would have drafted language addressing that possibility. Another question is whether the sale agreement requires Kushner and Iger to honor governance arrangements Walter negotiated with Buss. Her role with the team has been well-known and presumably was part of deliberations between Walter, Kushner and Buss.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Five of the six children of former Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss still intend to sell their remaining minority ownership of the NBA team despite the opposition of their sister, Jeanie.
Johnny, Jimmy, Janie, Joey and Jesse Buss reiterated their stance Tuesday in a statement issued to ESPN, saying they "remain united in that decision. ... We intend to move forward thoughtfully, respectfully and through the appropriate process."
The five Buss siblings said Monday they had voted to sell the family trust's remaining 17.8% stake to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger, who are acquiring majority ownership from Mark Walter.
Jeanie Buss announced her intention to fight back against the plan later Monday through a letter from her attorney, Adam Streisand. Jeanie Buss claims the siblings can't sell the trust's ownership shares without her approval.
If the five siblings are able to sell their remaining ownership, Jeanie Buss would no longer be able to serve as the Lakers' governor, a position she is scheduled to hold until at least 2030 under the deal struck with Walter last year when he purchased majority control of the team at a valuation of $10 billion.

If you're Luka Dončić, the business of basketball is quite a thing.
Not only was he traded from the Dallas Mavericks, the team that drafted him, to the bright lights of the Los Angeles Lakers, seemingly without any advanced notice; he will, this season, be playing for his fifth different ownership group in the past three years.
Mark Walter, who officially purchased a majority stake in the Lakers from the Buss family in October 2025, agreed last week — amid an ongoing federal investigation into alleged fraud in his lending practices — to sell control of the team to Bob Iger and Josh Kushner.
Neither Iger nor Kushner has ever run a professional sports franchise.
That may not seem like such a big deal. Dončić entered the NBA as the No. 3 overall pick (should have been No. 1), made the All-NBA First Team in his second season and earned a maximum designated rookie contract extension from the Mavericks. He now gets to play for the Lakers, the league's most fabled franchise, on a three-year, $160 million extension.

Every so often, the six children of Jerry Buss that make up the family trust have a public dispute over the Los Angeles Lakers that reminds us how little they see eye-to-eye when it comes to their father's vision for the team he bought in 1979.
The latest instance came Monday when ESPN's Shams Charania reported the Buss siblings agreed to sell their remaining 17.8 percent stake in the Lakers as part of Mark Walters' sale to Joshua Kushner and Bob Iger, effectively removing Jeanie Buss as governor of the team... only for an attorney for Jeanie to write a letter contesting the sell.
"This is just the latest instance of a years-long pattern whereby Joey and Jesse Buss leak false, defamatory and pernicious 'information' to Mr. Charania for the malicious purpose of doing harm to the Los Angeles Lakers so long as Dr. Buss's chosen successor, Jeanie Buss, carries out her father's wishes," the letter read.
In essence, a year after the Buss' sold their majority stake to Walter -- a process many of the siblings were frustrated by and one that allowed Jeanie to remain governor through 2030 -- the siblings have now voted to sell their remaining stake without the blessing of Jeanie. Thus, we're headed for another public family feud.
And can they please spare us this time? I would love nothing more than if the Buss' could settle their differences privately for once.

Following Mark Walter's sale of a majority stake in the Los Angeles Lakers, the Buss family reportedly agreed to sell their minority stake as well. However, Jeanie Buss isn't having any of it.
Jeanie Buss has been Governor of the Los Angeles Lakers since 2013, following the passing of her father, Jerry Buss. In 2025, the Buss family sold their controlling share in the Lakers to Mark Walter.
Just a year on, things have changed drastically. Walter has sold his majority share in the franchise to Bob Iger and Josh Kushner at a $12.5 billion valuation.
And on Monday, Shams Charania reported that the Buss siblings were selling their remaining 17.8 percent minority stake to the new owners too. However, Jeanie is not willing to let this happen.

On Monday, Josh Kushner and Bob Iger, who agreed to purchase the majority share of the Los Angeles Lakers that Mark Walter bought last October, became set to also purchase the share of the team that the Buss family still owns.
The family voted to sell its stake in the franchise to Kushner and Iger, but that transaction has hit a snag because Jeanie Buss, the governor of the Lakers, is contesting that vote, according to ESPN.
"Los Angeles Lakers governor Jeanie Buss is contesting her siblings' vote to sell the family's remaining 17.8% share of the Lakers, according to a letter from her lawyer obtained by ESPN," wrote Ramona Shelburne.
"ESPN's Shams Charania reported earlier Monday that the Buss family voted to sell their remaining shares to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger at the same $12.5 billion valuation that Mark Walter agreed to last week. They believe they have the right to sell based on a tag-along provision that had been included in the previous sale to Walter in June 2025. Sources told ESPN that provision gave the family rights to tag along on any sale and valuation Walter secured for his shares."
Per the original transaction involving Walter, Kushner and Iger, Buss was set to remain the Lakers' governor through 2030. But if the Buss family is to sell its stake, she would no longer hold that role.

It's the end of an era, not just in Los Angeles, but for basketball and the NBA.
Maybe.
After nearly 50 years in the business of running the Los Angeles Lakers, the Buss family announced Monday that it's fully divesting its stake in the franchise.
In a statement shared with ESPN's Shams Charania Monday, the Busses announced that they're selling their remaining 17.8% share in the Lakers as part of the $12.5 billion sale of the team to Bob Iger and Josh Kushner.
"We have decided as a family to sell the remaining Buss Family Trust shares to the Bob Iger group as part of the ongoing transaction," the statement reads. "We love the Lakers, Laker fans and will continue to support Los Angeles; but it is time to use this opportunity to move on and exit gracefully while we still can."
