The NBA approved Mark Cuban’s sale of a majority stake in the Dallas Mavericks to the family of Miriam Adelson, the controlling shareholder of Las Vegas Sands Corp. The $3.5 billion deal won clearance Wednesday from the basketball league’s Board of Governors and is expected to close this week, according to a statement. Cuban will keep a minority stake.
Main Idea: The NBA approved Mark Cuban’s $3.5 billion sale of a majority stake in the Dallas Mavericks to the family of Miriam Adelson, moving the team ownership change closer to closing.
Key Points:
Miriam Adelson’s team may push a Dallas casino plan, which could raise gambling risks for families and communities if Texas changes its laws.
New ownership could bring more investment in the Mavericks and Dallas jobs, though the casino plan is still uncertain.
