A giant buyout firm in Silicon Valley is looking to acquire major stakes in the New York Knicks and New York Rangers, The Post has learned.
Silver Lake Partners — a firm that’s better known for its investments in Tesla and Alibaba — is angling to buy a big stake in both teams before they’re spun off into a publicly traded company, sources close to the situation said.
Silver Lake owns close to 10 percent in the teams’ owner, Madison Square Garden — making it the largest outside investor in the entertainment conglomerate controlled by billionaire James Dolan.
