Hall of Famer Michael Jordan has reached an agreement to sell his majority stake in the Charlotte Hornets to a group led by Gabe Plotkin and Rick Schnall, the team announced Friday
Per ESPN, the sale is for an approximate $3 billion valuation.
Pending approval of the NBA's Board of Governors, the transaction will end Jordan's 13-year run as the NBA's only Black majority owner. He will retain a minority ownership share of the club, however.
Plotkin, who acquired a minority stake in the Hornets in 2019, has been alternate governor on the NBA Board of Governors since that year.
