Joey and Jesse Buss are reportedly exploring investment opportunities connected to NBA Europe ownership and are also linked to interest in a stake in Major League Baseball’s San Diego Padres, according to Yahoo Sports. The brothers previously held roles within the Los Angeles Lakers organization, but both were removed from their positions in the Lakers’ front office last fall. Their ouster followed shortly after Mark Walter’s purchase of the Lakers from the Buss family received approval. The reports focus on the next phase of the Buss brothers’ business interests, but they do not provide additional details on the scope of any potential stake, the timing of decisions, or whether any transaction is close to completion. As presented in the sources, the primary confirmed context is the change in their Lakers involvement after the ownership transition to Walter. Beyond that, the information on NBA Europe and the Padres is described as interest under consideration rather than finalized ownership or agreements.
