The transaction, valued at $1.5 billion, was approved unanimously this Tuesday.\n\nThis decision ends a process that spanned more than four years, since outgoing owner Glen Taylor initially agreed to the sale in 2021. Despite Taylor&#8217;s attempts to stop the operation last year, the league finally validated the transfer, which will be completed this week.\n\nThe investor group will assume full control of both franchises, including the Minnesota Lynx, four-time WNBA champions. Lore will be the primary governor of the Timberwolves, while Rodr\u00edguez will serve as the alternate governor. In the case of the Lynx, the roles are reversed, with Rodr\u00edguez as the primary governor.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>We are honored by this opportunity.

Both have reiterated their intention to keep the franchises in Minnesota, strengthening their bond with the community and betting on local development.\n\nThe official presentation of Rodr\u00edguez and Lore as the new owners will take place in July in Las Vegas, during the NBA Summer League.\n\nThis approval marks the beginning of a new stage for the Timberwolves, who are coming off one of their most outstanding seasons, generating high expectations both in the sporting and institutional spheres under the direction of their new owners.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sale of the Timberwolves and Lynx to Alex Rodr\u00edguez and Marc Lore approved The NBA Board of Governors has given the green light to the sale of the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Minnesota Lynx to the investment group led by former baseball player Alex Rodriguez and tech entrepreneur Marc Lore.
