The Los Angeles Lakers are in the relatively unprecedented position of undergoing their second ownership change in under 18 months.

The Los Angeles Lakers are on the verge of another transition period, and nobody is sure what to expect. But with Mark Walter out and co-owners Bob Iger and Josh Kushner in, it’s a brand new regime running the show, and anything is on the table.
This era of NBA basketball features plenty of player movement, with superstars like LeBron James and Kevin Durant changing teams multiple times over their career. Sometimes, it's the bosses who keep changing, as Luka Doncic discovered again this week.
Josh Kushner, in one of the most expensive and unexpected moves of the decade, made a bid alongside Bob Iger to buy the Los Angeles Lakers in a deal valuing the franchise at $12.5 billion.
The Los Angeles Lakers will enter the 2026-27 season with unknown expectations following LeBron James’ departure. After 18 months of balancing Luka Doncic alongside LeBron James, the Lakers have now fully handed the keys to the Slovenian for the foreseeable future.
