Michael Jordan, the NBA's only Black majority owner, finalizing sale of Charlotte Hornets: sources [View all]
Michael Jordan is finalizing a sale of the Charlotte Hornets to a group led by Gabe Plotkin and Rick Schnall, ending his 13-year run as majority owner, league sources told ESPN on Friday.
An agreement is expected to be signed in the coming days, sources said.
Schnall, a minority owner with the Atlanta Hawks, and Plotkin, a minority owner with the Hornets, will become the franchise's governors once the NBA completes its vetting and approval process. Jordan will continue to oversee basketball operations through next Thursday's NBA draft and the start of free agency on July 1.
Once the sale is complete, Jordan is expected to keep a minority stake and a presence with the franchise, sources said.
