A minority partner of the Timberwolves and Lynx filed suit Wednesday, alleging breach of contract by majority owner Glen Taylor in the proposed sale of the teams.
The lawsuit, filed in the District Court of Minnesota by Meyer Orbach, also said there was no stipulation in the proposed $1.5 billion sale of the franchises to Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez that would keep the team in Minnesota.
Orbach, who initially bought a 5% ownership stake in the Timberwolves in 2016, claims that his company, Orbit, is now the largest limited partner with Taylor and owns 17% of the franchise — more than all other minority partners combined.
