Bob Iger, the former chairman and CEO of Disney, is partnering with Josh Kushner to buy the Los Angeles Lakers in an estimated $12.5 billion deal.
The reports say Kushner is the younger brother of Jared Kushner, a former senior adviser to then-U.S. President Donald Trump. Across the outlets, the core details focus on the proposed ownership partnership and the reported purchase price. The coverage provided here does not describe additional terms of the transaction, timing, or any specific approvals required, nor does it outline competing bids or reactions from the league, the team’s current owners, or stakeholders.
Overall, the differing emphasis between sources is limited; both identify the same two partners and the same headline valuation for the Lakers acquisition, while positioning Kushner’s background as relevant context.
