The hearing is now scheduled for Dec. 8,”wrote Dan Woike of The Athletic on X.The hearing was originally set for November 5, but Jeanie Buss’s lawyer, Adam Streisand, filed a continuance in her petition in Los Angeles Superior Court. The hearing was rescheduled for December 8 after the court approved the request.Buss’s lead attorney, Streisand, asked for the extension because he has two speaking engagements in Europe and won’t be back in Los Angeles until November 18.Jeanie Buss took the matter to court after her siblings refused to stop the sale of the Buss family’s minority stake (17.8%) in the Lakers to Bob Iger and Josh Kushner. She called her siblings’ behavior ‘devious’ and sought that the court hold them in contempt and liable for damages in her petition.According to the petition, the attempted sale “blinded” Jeanie, and the family’s statement to ESPN was “knowingly false: Jeanie never agreed to any sale, was never consulted, and was never even informed.”“Jeanie thought she had put all of her siblings’ scheming and manipulations behind her in 2017,” the petition said. “Sadly, that was not the case, and Jeanie must respectfully request relief from this Court a second time.”This update comes shortly after legitimate questions were raised over Jeanie Buss’ future as team governor, where a report stated that Josh Kushner, the son-in-law of President Donald Trump, is eyeing her role.According to Charles Gasparino of the New York Post, Josh Kushner is expected internally to take over as team governor. At the same time,e Bob Iger’s role in the sale of the Lakers was greatly exaggerated.However, according to Jeanie Buss’ petition, the other minority owners support her staying as team governor. So this delay could be costly for the Lakers, as uncertainty looms over the team’s day-to-day operations due to unrest among the ownership.But this also gives Jeanie Buss time to potentially gather more resources to purchase the 15% stake needed to stay team governor despite a sale.For now, Jeanie Buss remains team governor, and the Lakers continue their process of ‘Dodgerizing’ in line with Mark Walter’s vision. It will certainly be interesting to see w
