You're tuned in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
The Los Angeles Lakers are changing hands in the biggest sale in NBA history. Bob Iger and Josh Kushner are set to acquire the franchise for twelve point five billion dollars, a record-breaking figure that signals just how much the league's marquee market commands. The duo pivoted hard from Las Vegas expansion talks to land one of the most storied franchises in professional sports.
Shifting to the diamond, the Toronto Blue Jays have claimed veteran right-hander Paul Sewald off waivers after Arizona designated him for assignment. Sewald brings experience and late-inning credibility to a Toronto bullpen that's been searching for reliable arms down the stretch. The Diamondbacks' loss could prove to be a meaningful addition for the Jays.
And in women's football, Cameroon goalkeeper Michaely Bihina delivered a performance for the ages, stopping an extra-time penalty and three more in a shootout to eliminate host nation Morocco and send the Indomitable Lionesses to the two thousand twenty six Women's Africa Cup of Nations final. The twenty-two-year-old was absolutely unbeatable when it mattered most.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
