What happened
Sportico’s latest NBA valuations placed the Lakers at $12.5 billion on Friday, matching the price tied to Bob Iger and Josh Kushner’s recent purchase and trailing only the Warriors and Knicks.
The update suggests the club’s value rose by $2.5 billion in about a year, while minority owner Patrick Soon-Shiong still thinks the franchise is undervalued and investors have discussed a far higher long-term figure.
This has no immediate rotation impact. It matters for Lakers coverage because ownership valuation and revenue expectations can shape future spending and roster-building flexibility.
