Jeanie Buss has thwarted an effort by her brothers Jim and Johnny to seize control of the Lakers, according to a report from the Los Angeles Times's Nathan Fenno and Bill Plaschke.
Attorneys for Jeanie Buss filed a temporary restraining order in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Friday to prevent her brothers from holding a meeting to elect a new board of directors for the franchise. In order for her to remain the controlling owner, she has to be a member of that board, according to the Times.
The brothers withdrew their request after Jeanie Buss' attorney filed the temporary restraining order.
