Hornets owner Michael Jordan in talks to sell majority stake in NBA team, report says

Michael Jordan’s tenure as majority owner of the Charlotte Hornets is reportedly near its end.

Jordan is in serious talks to sell a huge stake of the franchise to a group that includes Hornets minority owner Gabe Plotkin and Atlanta Hawks minority owner Rick Schnall, according to ESPN. Should a sale go through, Jordan would still hold a minority stake in the Hornets, according to the report.

Jordan sold a piece of the Hornets to Plotkin, a founder of Melvin Capital, and Daniel Sundheim, a founder of DI Capital, in 2019.
