Lakers Fire Joey and Jesse Buss in Front Office Shake-up

Lakers Fire Joey and Jesse Buss in Front Office Shake-up

The Los Angeles Lakers have fired Joey and Jesse Buss, sons of the late owner Jerry Buss, from their front office positions.

The brothers had been with the team for over a decade and were instrumental in discovering and developing several key players.

The firing comes after the team's recent $10 billion sale and change in ownership, but the Buss brothers will retain their minority ownership stakes.

Jeanie Buss, their sister, will continue as the team's primary governor.
