Things are starting to get ugly within the Los Angeles Lakers organization following an overhaul of the team’s front office. Team president Jeanie Buss has reportedly filed a restraining order against her brothers Jim and Johnny Buss, according to Nathan Fenno and Bill Plaschkeof the L.A. Times:
Jeanie Buss has thwarted an effort by her brothers, Jim and Johnny, to oust her as the Lakers president and controlling owner as the behind the scenes battle for control of the franchise moved into the courtroom.
Attorneys for Jeanie Buss sought a temporary restraining order in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Friday to prevent the brothers from holding a meeting next week to elect a new board of directors for the team that didn’t include her.
