NextImg:Michael Jordan in ‘serious talks’ to sell majority stake of Hornets: report

Jordan is in “serious talks” to sell the stake to a group led by Hornets minority owner Gabe Plotkin and Atlanta Hawks minority owner Rick Schnall, ESPN reported Thursday evening.

If a sale goes through, Jordan will still own a piece of the team.

No deal is imminent, but there has been “significant momentum.”

Jordan sold a minority stake to Plotkin, founder and chief investment officer of Melvin Capital Management, and Daniel Sundheim, founder and chief investment officer of D1 Capital Partners, in 2020.
