Browns’ Haslams set to buy 25% of Bucks

Browns owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam have agreed to purchase Marc Lasry’s 25% stake of the Bucks in a deal that puts the value of the NBA franchise at $3.5 billion, according to reports Monday.

Those numbers, if finalized, would mean the Haslams plan to spend about $875 million for Lasry’s stake of the team.

It would be the second-highest valuation in NBA history, behind the $4 billion valuation for the Suns and WNBA’S Mercury when Mat Ishbia acquired them in a deal that closed earlier this month.

The Bucks’ ownership group also includes Jamie Dinan and Mike Fascitelli. „ Lebron James will miss the Lakers’ game against the Grizzlies on Tuesday due to right foot soreness. James suffered the injury in the third quarter of Sunday’s comeback victory over the Mavericks. James finished the game, scoring 26 points, and said after they would “monitor” the injury the next couple days.
