Lakers fire Joey Buss, Jesse Buss from front office positions after ownership change

Joey Buss and Jesse Buss are no longer working in the Los Angeles Lakers' front office after the franchise's recent ownership change, a person with knowledge of the move told The Associated Press on Thursday. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the Lakers didn't publicly announce the firings of the two children of longtime Lakers owner Jerry Buss, who died in 2013. The Lakers are also overhauling the scouting staff that worked with the brothers.
