The Buss family drama surrounding the Los Angeles Lakers is reaching a boiling point. Five of the six members of the Buss family trust have declared they are united in their push to sell their remaining shares in the franchise, putting them in direct conflict with controlling owner Jeanie Buss, who has made clear she wants to keep the team in family hands. This is a power struggle with billion-dollar stakes, and it is far from over.
Meanwhile, a nineteen-year-old out of Utah is about to get his shot at the highest level of club football. Zavier Gozo, the MLS All-Star winger and United States Under-twenty-three international, has officially signed a five-year deal with Crystal Palace, making the move from Real Salt Lake. He's been in the RSL system since two thousand twenty-one, and now he's trading the Wasatch Front for the Premier League. Massive moment for this kid and for American soccer.
And shifting to the NFL, the New York Giants are building cautious optimism around Malik Nabers, who took the practice field for a second consecutive day as he continues working back from his summer absence. It's a lighter workload, but any reps for a receiver of his caliber at this stage of camp is exactly what that offense needs to see.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
