Jeanie Buss accuses siblings of secret plot to oust her from Lakers

Jeanie Buss has accused her siblings of orchestrating a secret campaign to remove her as governor of the Los Angeles Lakers, according to an ESPN report by Baxter Holmes. In a recent court filing, Buss alleged her siblings are jealous of their late father selecting her to lead the franchise. She has asked a judge to block Joey and Janie Buss from selling the family's remaining 17.8% ownership stake in the team.

The dispute centers on NBA rules requiring team governors to hold at least a 15% stake, meaning a sale would force Buss out of her leadership role. The legal battle follows previous petitions over removing Joey and Janie as co-trustees. A critical court hearing is scheduled for December 8 to determine if the sale will be blocked.
