Fans hoping the ownership dispute for majority control of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx would resolve before the conclusion of the current WNBA season and the start of the upcoming NBA season might be disappointed.
An arbitration hearing that would essentially settle the dispute between the minority owners, business partners Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez, and the principal owner, Glen Taylor, will begin early November — shortly after the NBA season tips off — people with knowledge of the matter told the Star Tribune.
The hearing should last a week, with the ruling from a three-member arbitration panel coming within 30 days.
