The Los Angeles Lakers are being sold to American businessman Josh Kushner<\/strong> and Bob Iger<\/strong> for a record-breaking price of more than $12 billion<\/strong>, multiple sources told ESPN.<\/p>\n

Kushner and Iger had been involved in the expansion process in Las Vegas, but in a stunning turn, they pivoted to make an aggressive offer to buy the Lakers from Mark Walter<\/strong>, who purchased a controlling interest in the team from the Buss family last year. The deal would set a new record for the highest price ever paid for a sports franchise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
